This hit me hard.

The guy was such a lovable shlub and his personality was always upbeat and excited about animals which i also love.
Only 44 years old...too young. May he rest in peace and his wife and kids be strong. At least it wasn't some animal eating him.

Here's some info on the danger of stingrays - http://www.jerrylabella.com/stingray.html
It's rare that a sting will be fatal...supposedly it penetrated his chest so the poison might've paralyzed his heart.
I see divers stroking them all the time on tv documentaries so they can't be that dangerous.

The odds that A stingray will strike are remote - but what are the odds that the stinger hits the heart - at least he didn't suffer as it was instant death.
