After stewing for a few days, ala Jack Benny "I'm thinking it over!" - I do not agree with the "it was bound to happen" angle on Irwin's death, simply because he wasn't killed by a crocodile or poisonous snake. On the contrary, his aquatic adventures seemed benign to the point of being like a vacation from his usual activities - "have a look at that school of perch!"

In fact before he was married, he'd leave the TV studio and waiting for him would be his groupers.
