The Discovery Channel Will Never Be the Same

steveirwin.jpgThe Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, was killed on Monday, not by a crocodile, but by a stingray. His heart was apparently punctured by the barb of the creature as he swam nearby, causing cardiac arrest.
Discovery Communications and affiliates plan to establish The Crikey Fund, in his honor, which will help to support wildlife protection, education and conservation.
