It would be in very poor taste to show footage of the death.

I sure the family would not allow it anyway, imagine the child seeing her own father's death on TV. That is just downright horrid and sick!

And rmacken, I would boycott any source that showed such footage (assuming it exists) to the general public.

Coconut, what information do you hope to gain from the footage?
it no-doubt will exist if he was filming at the time. The media will pay massive amounts of money for the tape explaining to the director that it is in the public interest how their crocodile hero died (or some crap like that)

Ayrton Senna was shown on TV time and time again when he hit the wall.

What information? How big it was. What color it was. How fast it moved. What it sounded like. How close was he? How deep was he? If someone else knows, I want to know.

Planes crash into world trade center. What? You want to see the video of it? You sicko.

Words are always someone else's account or report. Video and audio is seeing and hearing for yourself.

But video and audio aren't hearing and seeing for yourself as has been demonstrated before. What you are seeing and hearing is what the director/producer wishes you to except in the case of live action in which case it is the camera man mostly.

Don't get your "knickers in a bunch,matey." As an American,I was just unfamiliar with that source.It is dangerous to believe everything you read,But it does appear that Steve has finally said "Crickey!" for the last time.

You know what, I kind of always suspected he would die like this. Not by a stingray but by an animal or reptile of some kind. Yet, I wanted to be wrong cause the guy was so good at what he did. He really loved nature. I only hope his wife and kids can carry on. It is a terrible day.😕

Do you think he had a death wish?

No. He just had a taste for life. Live it to the limits.
