The saddest part of the whole thing is that he leaves a wife and some young kids.
He took a lot of risks and had a lot of close calls. I didn't expect to read about his death, but when I thought of how many chances he took it wasn't surprising.
It's his right to put himself in danger, but when he fed the crock with his baby in the other arm, that put his kid's life in danger. That showed a severe lack of judgment (or an excess of hubris).
I didn't watch him much, but when my son was 2 he loved to watch the Wiggles and I have endured the "Wiggles meet the Crocodile Hunter" many times. I told my son (now 4) that he died and my son said, "did a crocodile eat him?"
