Croc Hunter

Am I one of the only ones in this world who is not surprised by his death? I was just reading some message boards and everyone seems to be expressing their disbelief. My opinion? He defied death on a regular basis. Defied... no... taunted is probably a better word. He was supposedly taping a story about the dangers of the sea. My guess is he thought, as he has done so many times before, he could get close enough to this sting ray without getting seriously hurt. Only this time, he was incorrect and nature won the battle.

I'm not saying that I HOPED he would die. (I agree that it's a tragedy for his family and for the friends/coworkers who were with him at the time.) I'm just saying I'm not surprised at the news.
