robins72 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 A very rare thing to happen apparantly. Hasnt been something like that happen since 1945. I think they are wondering if he banged his head under water and knocked himself out. Sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Sad loss. Considering how many chances he took with wildlife its probably the way he would have wanted to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Isnt that Dennis Irwin? As for Steve: if you combine that saying about playing with fire with the law about averages then it was an inevitable ending for the man, his destiny has been realised. May one of the Worlds most genuine lunatic's now rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
