>SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the Australian TV presenter known 
>as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after being stung in a marine accident 
>off Australia's north coast.
>
>Australian media reports say Irwin was diving in waters off Port Douglas, 
>north of Cairns, when the incident happened on Monday morning.
>
>Irwin was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest, according 
>to Cairns police sources. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary at 
>the time.
>
>Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality Monday morning 
>off Port Douglas, according to Australian media.
>
>Queensland Police Services also confirmed Irwin's death and said his family 
>had been notified. Irwin, 44, was director of the Australian Zoo in 
>Queensland.
>
>He and his American-born wife Terri Irwin became popular figures on 
>Australian and international television through Irwin's close handling of 
>wildlife, most notably the capture of live crocodiles.
>
>Irwin's enthusiastic approach to nature conservation and the environment 
>won him a global following. He was known for his exuberance and use of the 
>catchphrase "crikey!"
>
>But his image suffered a setback in 2004 when he held his then 
>one-month-old baby while feeding a crocodile at his Australian zoo.
>
>Irwin's wife Terri was believed to be on location in Tasmania, filming 
>another documentary.
>
>Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expressed his sorry Monday and 
>said that he was fond of Irwin and was very appreciative of all the work he 
>had done in promoting Australia overseas.
