Although I found him too irritating to watch, I’m really sorry to hear he died. His young family will miss him in the years to come.
From what I hear, it was a freak incident – I guess a spine to the heart is too much for anybody, especially 30 minutes away from the nearest medical help.
Although he was decades too young to die, I’m glad that it was quick and that he died doing the things he loved the most. He knew what he was doing – having grown up on a zoo, in one of the most dangerous environments on the planet (Oz has the most poisonous native species of any continent). But sometimes wierd, horrible, things happen, no matter how experienced you are.
