In 2014, Justin Lyons, Irwin’s underwater photographer and best friend, opened up about watching the famed “Crocodile Hunter’s” death by a stingray’s barb through the chest.
Lyons was filming Irwin for a special called “Ocean’s Deadliest,” and after eight days of filming crocodiles and other animals, the pair focused in on a ray — normally a very calm animal — which started to stab its tail rapidly and wildly.
Throughout the day, 18-year-old Bindi shared three more photos of her father with the caption, “Khaki and the happiest memories.”
Derek Hough, who was Bindi’s partner in their “Dancing with the Stars” victory last year, also posted a tribute to Irwin in light of the annual event, writing, Since it’s November 15th in Australia I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Steve Irwin day.
Steve Irwin.
