Steve Irwin won the hearts of people around the world for his love for animals and kind nature, but sadly the Australian zookeeper died at the age of 44 on September 4, 2006, following an accidental stingray attack.
The environmentalist was filming for his documentary on Australia's Great Barrier Reef when a stingray struck him in the chest, becoming the only death caused by stingray to be captured on camera.
The Crocodile Hunter left behind his family including his wife Terri Irwin and their two children, Bindi and Robert Irwin.
