  For now we need to wait for autopsy results to confirm this.  Sting ray
venom is slow acting and Irwin was reported to have  lived
  for only an hour or so after being struck so cardiac trauma and tamponade
is probably correct.

    It seems it was a puncture wound into his heart, rather than
envenomation.
