rainbowcherrie answered Monday September 4 2006, 7:16 am: Yes, sadly it is true.
He was filming in the Low Isles, Queensland near Port Douglas, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia when he was stung in the left of his chest by a Stringray, which resulted in a cardiac arrest. He was taken by helicopter to Cairns Base Hospital, but was announced dead just an hour after the attack.
It was a bizarre freak accident as Stringrays rarely attack people. The BBC even announced that this was only the second known fatality in Australian history from a stingray attack. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
isis answered Monday September 4 2006, 7:16 am: He was filming for a new underwater documentary series and he was stung on the chest by a sting rays barb. Whilst a sting from this fish is not normally lethal, it appears to have caused a cardiac arrest due to the location of the injury. He was dead before paramedics could reach him. His wife was away on a hiking holiday at the time so was told later.
It is very sad but when he knew that when he took as many risks as he did, something was bound to happen sooner or later. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
Vicky answered Monday September 4 2006, 6:55 am: Yeah it's true, i was well shocked. He was stung just below the heart by a sting ray. :(
Their venom isn't usually enough to kill a man but it's probably because he was stung so close to the heart:( [ Vicky's advice column | Ask Vicky A Question ]
