Queensland State Coroner Michael Barnes said authorities gave the original video to his wife, Terri, in late December and destroyed other copies. 4 after being stabbed in the chest by the stingray's poisonous barb while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef off the Queensland coast. Lyons and Irwin reportedly left their hotel rooms because they were bored and wanted to go shooting.SYDNEY, Australia - Authorities gave the video of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's fatal encounter with a stingray to his family and destroyed all copies to prevent the grisly footage from being made public, an Australian state coroner said Thursday. Irwin was originally not meant to go out at sea that day capturing stingrays because Ocean’s Deadliest filming had been postponed due to weather issues. “Even if we’d been able to get him into an emergency ward at that moment we probably wouldn’t have been able to save him because the damage to his heart was massive,” said Donovan. When Lyons returned to the boat and saw Irwin having difficulty in breathing, then only he realized that something serious had occurred. Justin Lyons, who captured the incident, first had no idea that Irwin had been stabbed in the heart.
If he died he would be sad if no one got it on tape,” said Donovan.īut the horrific day in 2006 wasn’t just one incident. Even if he is eaten by a shark or croc, the main thing he wants is that it be filmed. Irwin made it a practice to record everything, according to Tommy Donovan, the wildlife expert’s IMDb biographer, therefore the last moments of his life were also captured on camera.” If he needs help he will ask for it.
The place of his death and the whereabouts of the original footage are still not found, though. An underwater camera captured the event of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef that killed Irwin. Irwin was filming a stingray that was not dangerous when the tragedy occurred. Sadly, his last few moments were also captured on camera.
Regardless of whether he was in threat from reptiles, or sharks, all of Irwin’s admirers and wildlife lovers understood he always preferred the cameras to keep rolling. He continues to be recognized as one of the most significant animal experts to have ever lived, even 16 years after his death. Following his death, his fans all around the world expressed their sorrow.
