Whenever I hear or see stingray I think of Steve Irwin the Aussie Crocodile Hunter who was killed by one...
He died on 4 September 2006, at the age of 44.
He was filming an underwater documentary called Ocean's Deadliest in the Great Barrier Reef when he was pierced in the chest by a stingray's barb. His cameraman, Justin Lyons, said the stingray mistook Irwin's shadow for a tiger shark and struck him with its tail multiple times. The barb went through his thoracic wall and pierced his heart, causing massive trauma.
Irwin was pronounced dead at the scene, despite his crew's attempts to perform CPR. His death was a tragic and rare accident, as fatalities from stingray attacks are extremely uncommon.
It's a beautiful coin and I would love to have one!
