Edit: I felt kind of sad. I mean he contributed so many years to his work and showing us nature in its preserved way. A little sympathy was what I felt because he died at a young age with a family to support.
-
Just as sad as if anyone else unknown to me died.
-
Well, I kinda expected it sooner or later, but I was comforted that he died doing what he loved and not by a car accident or something human-caused. I'm sure it's the way he would want to die.

I couldn't believe it. I was in amazement. I really liked Steve Irwin and he really inspired me. I felt sad for his wife and young children. I soon relized that he would never have new shows of "The Crocodile Hunter". I seriously watched him everyday and his show was my favorite. I watched all the specials before a million times. I really hoped that it wasn't true because he was a man filled with so much life. I swam with the stingrays myself at Grand Cayman before. I couldn't believe that would kill him. It was ironic that a crocodile didn't kill but a stingray which I've swam with before did.

a bit ike Brew guy, i didn't really cared, he isn't in my family or that kinda thing...
-
I didn't get particularly upset, I think that he chose a line of work that had its risks and he was fully aware of those. Obviously I felt some sort of compassion for his family, but I think that on some level they would have had to prepare for the day that something went wrong.
-
i was clearly shocked and dismayed..all this time while wrestling with big crocs, he succumbed to a sting ray's barb..RIP! Mr. irwin..hope his son will become the next great croc hunter, and carry on the irwin legacy
-
Shocked. I thought of his wife and child and felt sad.
-
it didnt really affect me at all really...i was shocked that he didn't die from being bitten from a croc or gator...
-
Who? Oh the crocdile hunter
-
Sad, he really seemed to have a passion for the work he was doing. I was depressed that day, because of his lose.
-
A bit sad for his wife and kids. They seemed very happy. However, I got over it quickly because I didn't know him personally.
-
I felt sad.
-
It as the first time i'd ever really felt sad for a celebrity. I mean, really sad.The guy was one of the few genuinly nice people on the planet. He was a God send, a legend, Stupiously funny... And what's more, he truely cared for the animals he worked with. I only wish the best to his wife and litte girl.

I felt sad that the world had lost a good man. A man who cared about animals and wanted to share that interest and love with all of us. Sometimes it seems all we hear about are the 'bad people' doing awful things to our earth and to each other so it's sad to see one of the good ones die. They say the good die young. It makes you wonder.
-
I felt shocked and sad for his family but by the same token I stopped watching his show and other wild life hassling programming on Discovery /Animal Planet because though it is nice to see these animals I could not help but feel sorry for them being stressed out by handlers like Irwin. Education is important but you cannot stress animals outlike that and not expect to get seriously hurt at one point. I hope that Discovery and Animal Planet will pursue a more responsible approach to showing wildlife that is easier on the aniimals and the presenters.

I never heard of him before he died. I really couldn't care less about him, no more than any random stranger's death.
-
SO SAD!!!I felt bad he died when he was pretty young but my friend cheered me up with a little joke not to be mean but its like now theres a dead man swimmin dead man swimmin lol
-
I was in disbelief...
-
He had it coming. Didn't really affect me, I have never watched his show or anything..
-
I thought it was bizarre and a joke in the first few seconds but then just a second after I figured that at least he died doing what he loved. What a freaky way to die though. Then a few seconds after that (literally, yes, I think quick and like a bumblebee on acid), I started to wonder how long it would take for his death to become exploited and how long till the jokes started.
-
I know your going to get angry but i felt he got what he deserved.Although it is quite sad for bindi and his wife.its actually quite ironic but was almost bound to happen.if you have big balls you die with big balls
-
What an idiot.
-
I was a little surprised to hear it, but overall, I was not surprised when I considered the fact that he messed with all sorts of dangerous animals on a daily basis. I knew it would happen eventually but I was still a little surprised when it actually happened.
-
i didnt beleive it but i was pretty depressed because he was a good guy :(
-
Well I heard several hours later on his death, I felt a bit sad. I wanted to maybe meet the guy later in my life.
-
As I usually am when I hear of a celebrity's death, sad mostly for his family. I know at least he died doing what he enjoyed most and chose to do.
-
couldnt care less. LOL, dude played with fire. What do u expect?
-
Not any sadder then when anybody else dies.
-
Saddened,the world had lost a real man who never shund his feeling for his love of family and his countrys resources of crocs. and wild life. sturring others to learn more we need more men like Steve a role modle of being rugged and loyal to his values.
-
Maybe this sounds harsh, but not surprised.....Not that I disliked him. It's just what he did was dangerous and it was gonna happen sooner or later. And sad for his family...I'm sure that was a tough loss.
-
i cried ... i never cry and i blubbed like a baby ... he was ... is my hero
-
Terrible i love animals....
-
I felt really sad, its weird cuz I didnt know him...he was just on TV. But I really liked him, and his personality. He was a vibrant person...that shined. I thought it was very sad. very very sad...but also knew he died in a way he would have wanted to...
-
To tell the 100% truth. The exact minute I heard that he died, I didn't care. I heard about it on the radio in my truck while driving an employee to the emergency room because his mother was in critical condition from a car accident. I turned of the radio because I did not want the kid to get any more upset.

When it's your time to go there is nothing you can do to stop it so live life to the fullest and he did. It seems the good die all too young.
