Steve swam over the top of one of the stingrays & it became frightened. The stingray tried to defend itself by sticking out it's barbed tail. It ended up piercing Steve Irwin in the chest. Very, very sad. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/steve_irwin... Other Travel Tips sting ray stung him I have heard that, if he had not pulled the stinger from his chest, he might have lived. I wish I knew if this were true, because it seems to me that other people might benefit from this knowledge. It was a terrible tragedy. His little girl is now featured on the U.S. Animal Planet, along with footage from his older films, and it is just heartbreaking to watch.
