Nearly a decade has passed since the world lost Steve Irwin, popularly referred to as “The Crocodile Hunter.” Many were shocked and in sadness at his premature death at such a young age. Recently, his wife Terri Irwin revealed a devastating secret and talked about his passing in an appearance for the Australian television program “Anh’s Brush With Fame.”
Terri, who is currently 53 years old, appeared on the program to advocate for herself as a fighter against culling. But her late husband soon came up in discussion. She talked tearfully about Steve’s constant feeling that his life would end too soon. Terri disclosed, “He never thought he’d have a long life.” That Steve’s premonition was correct is a devastating reality.
Steve was filming “Ocean’s Deadliest” in Queensland, Australia, on that fateful day in 2006 when a stingray punctured his chest with its barb. When Terri had to inform their two children, Robert and Bindi, about the tragedy, she was overcome with anguish, as she well recalls. “I just remember this incredible sense of responsibility…’what do I do next?’… which was really hard,” the speaker recounts.
