I'm so shocked. What a freak thing to happen, but then again, you play with dangerous animals and eventually something could happen. I feel so bad for his wife and kids.

Hey Becca.
I'm so gobsmacked by this. I thought I was hearing things when the newsflash started playing. Stingray stings aren't usually fatal, there's only been a couple of deaths that I know of. I thought maybe they'd mixed it up and he'd been stung by an Irikanji or box jellyfish but it's not stinger season yet. It's been confirmed though as a Stingray.

His wife is in Tassie at Cradle Mountain doing another doco, so I hope she found out before the media.

Well I was reading that site you linked to, and at first they said she hadn't been told yet, then they said she has been told now, so I'm sure they sent someone to tell her. At least I hope so, I hope she didn't hear it on the radio. It's such a shock to Deni and I, we just loved him and thought he was hilarious. We feel so bad for his wife and kids. :(
