I'm not shocked. It's slightly ironic though. Only the second death related to stingrays in Australia, or something? Amazing.

About the guy... I have mixed feelings towards him. He indeed brought a lot of awareness towards wildlife and I loved his endless enthusiasm, but at the same time I always got the feeling he was badgering animals somewhat. I doubt those crocs enjoyed being dragged by their tails or lizards picked up from the trees to be showcased infront of the camera. I much more appreciated those types of documentaries where animals are being filmed from the distance, not being disturbed by the hand of man. Though I think he meant to cause no harm or discomfort to the animals and he genuinely loved wildlife I still can't shake of that feeling that he was too intruding.

That being said though. Respect to him. RIP.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
