The Crocodile Hunter's wife given only copy of his final video
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies, Rumors, Media, That's Entertainment
It is well known that Steve Irwin, who was killed by a stingray stab to the heart on September 4, was filmed during his final outing as he swam with stingrays. Many an Internet voyeur has been itching to get their hands on that footage to view those awful, final moments.Fortunately, for Irwin's widow and family, all but one copy of that tape have now been destroyed. This means that no creepy people can distribute the tape across cyberspace, cheapening the efforts of the charismatic man.
This must be a relief to Irwin's widow and his children. Knowing that his final moments were recorded would be hard enough, but to have them strewn across the Internet for entertainment would be too much. This way his children can grow up remembering their father as the vivacious hero of animals and animal protection, rather some sort of freakish Internet weirdness. I hope this effort will bring the family some peace.

Ginny said...I saw a poll online today asking if people thought the video should be released. About 75% of the people said "NO". Then it asked if it were to end up on the internet, would we view it...and only about 30% said "NO". I said that I didn't think it should be released and that I would NOT view it if it were available. His death affected my children who loved to watch "The Crocodile Hunter". It was hard for them to figure out why they could still see him on TV if he was dead. Sad stuff, for sure.

Belinda said...The bad part is, she may not want it to be seen, but he would have wanted it. He once said that if he getting bitten hurt or anything by an animal that it is his fault and he wants it ALL to be seen!

KateP said...What is the point in even retaining one copy of it? I can't imagine Terri Irwin and her family ever wanting to watch that footage.
