    But even so, as a keen scuba diver I had no idea this sort of thing could happen. In the leg followed by immense pain yes - but in the chest and then your dead. Totally unexpected and shocking.
    News is saying it pierced his heart hence the immediate death, anywhere else and he would of been o.k.

    Also those stingray barbs are poisonous ... Condolences to his family.

    Very, very sad news....
    There's video posted on Yahoo (through ABC) http://news.yahoo.com/.
    No video of the actual incident (don't want to see that!), but just a summary of what happened.
    It's thought he got to close to the stingray. Very, very unusual for stingrays to attack unless they feel threatened.
    He will be missed....
