    THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead.

    He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest.

    He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that' is when it occured.

    Mr Irwin's body was being flown to Cairns.

    Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.

    It is believed Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and has yet to be told of her husband's death.

    Mr Irwin - known worldwide as the Crocodile Hunter - is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry "Crikey!".

    The father of two's Crocodile Hunter program was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on cable network Discovery.

    He has also starred in movies and has developed the Australia Zoo wildlife park, north of Brisbane, which was started by his parents Bob and Lyn Irwin.
