Yup, he's dead.

Whoa! I mean, this came out of nowhere! But he's really dead. :( Too bad, I kinda liked the guy, and this was a freak accident so that makes it all the more "The hell?! Did this really happen?!"

Most people were expecting him to be done in by a croc, like how Timothy Treadwell was done in by Grizzlies. It's a sad thing.

Well, Irwin was a good man, maybe a little annoying, but at least he died doing what he loved, eh?

R.I.P.
