![]() Steve didn’t pull it out it’s a jagged, sharp barb and it went through Steve’s chest like a hot knife through butter. 'There is no evidence that Irwin was intimidating or threatening the stingray.' Irwin's wife, according to Stainton, was putting on a brave face for the sake of their two children. He also insisted that, contrary to reports at the time, Steve did NOT try and remove the barb, saying: "The stingray barb was a blade of about a foot extending out of the tail. According to Superintendent Mike Keating, police had seen the video of Irwin's demise. It wasn’t until I panned the camera back and Steve was standing in a huge pool of blood that I realised something was wrong." "I panned with the camera as the stingray swam away - I didn’t even know it had caused any damage. "All of a sudden it propped on its front and started stabbing wildly with its tail. You swim up from behind the animal and I’ll try to get a shot of it swimming away'. He explained: "Stingrays are normally very calm - if they don’t want you to be near them, they’ll swim away. Now, in a moving interview with Network Ten's Studio 10 show, Justin has opened up about Steve irwin's death for the very first time. The wildlife presenter died in 2006 after being stabbed by a stingray while filming a documentary series - and his underwater cameraman, Justin Lyons, was the only person to witness those final moments.
