Sting rays have some venom but it's not life threatening... just makes you ill from what I understand. There have been just a few people that have died from a run in with a stingray. The Stingray's barb happened to pierce his heart. It was a freak accident while filming a documentary for his daughter.

What I loved about this man is he didn't talk about saving the creatures... he put his money back into saving them. He could have gotten rich and sat back in a masion and only became passionate when the funds were rolling in. He loved these creatures long before the first camera, long after the cameras were off for the night. He shared his passion and idea with those around them. He put his energy for YEARS trying to get people to stop seeing animals as pests. Yes I cringed everytime he got around a croc or snake.

How many of us sit back wishing to be as passionate as he was... he was not afraid to make himself into a fool for the things he loved to do most and sharing it with not just his friends but anyone was willing to listen.
