Yeah I just heard, I got to meet him a few years ago. One hell of a guy.

RIP.

i guess its how he would have wanted to go.

Wow! I just read the report over the net. I can't imagine how his wife and child feel; his son is only 2 years old if that. He always pushed the envelope; a shame really.

Not sure if it's true or not, but I hear his wife is out trekking somewhere and doesn't know yet...

As far as I know, Terri is off trekking some mountains and cannot be told at this time. No idea about the kids though.

Yea, I just saw that on yahoo.com, his recklessness was bound to catch up to him sometime.
God rest his soul.

Wow, that's such shocking news! I found his schtick a bit much at times, but I always really admired his environmental efforts and the passion he had for nature.

Apparently the stinger went through his chest or so the latest reports say.

Terri is up in the mountains in Tassie atm and they can't get ahold of her.

Man Im going to miss him and his crazy antics on TV

Uhm, that's quite the shock.

Sorry to say this but 'those who live by the sword die by the sword', we can't say he didn't know the risks!
