Crocodile Hunter

I have heard multiple reports that once Steve Irwin was stabbed by the Stingray that he just grabbed the barb and pulled it out of his chest. It may not have made a difference whatsoever as I understand the barb has poison on it, but I wonder if he would have had a chance of survival if he would not have pulled it out.

Condolences to his family and to anyone that has lost a love one, as death of a loved one is difficult no matter how famous one might be.
