"We do find dead stingrays with their tails cut off from time to time. The actual stingray which delivered the fatal blow to Irwin as he swam in shallow waters with a cameraman to film "stuff on the reef and little animals" for a programme featuring his eight-year-old daughter could, of course, still be alive. ![]() Two stingrays - typically placid creatures - were found dead yesterday with their tails sliced off at Deception Bay, north of Brisbane, adding to the toll of eight already discovered since Irwin's death in waters further north. ![]() Up to 10 apparently mutilated stingrays have washed up in coastal waters since his death, prompting Queensland state officials to call on fans of the self-styled "wildlife warrior Australian bloke" not to retaliate against the species that killed their hero.
