Police say the 44-year-old died when was stung through the chest by a stingray while diving off Port Douglas. John Stainton says the fatal incident was unprovoked. He says the wildlife expert and a cameraman were snorkelling across Batt Reef in shallow water at about 11:00 am AEST. Mr Stainton says the cameraman was initially unaware of the fatal sting. "He [Irwin] just swum over the top of the ray and the barb came up and hit him," he said.
