I heard on the news that the stingray's stinger went directly into his heart. Usually they're not fatal otherwise, just extremely painful. But the injury to the heart itself was probably fatal, even without the stingray's poison that was injected into his heart.

What a tragedy! I really feel for his family. I watched a show recently where he and his wife and children visited National Parks in the USA. His children are so cute, and he was teaching them his love for, and knowledge of, nature and animals. He seemed to be a devoted father, and I am sure his kids, especially his daughter, and his wife, are absolutely devastated. His little boy probably doesn't understand what has happened, and/or what is going on.............
