This was not an "accident". A sting ray's defence is to sting. If you mess with an animal, it will instinctually protect itself. Mother nature 1, humans 0.

The creepy thing is that with his medical team he could have survived anything except a direct sting to the heart...oops.
Well, he was doing what he loved...up until the last couple of moments.

He had buckley's of surviving. Newspaper says he bunged instantly.
He was wagging on a documentary for his daughter. I guess that's the ta you get.
Even if he was was a little zoomly, he was still ; what with helping protect the environment and all.
