> 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.
