Final 'Crocodile Hunter' Show Ready To Air 'Ocean's Deadlist' Doesn't Include Footage From Day Of Death
POSTED: 8:04 am CST January 8, 2007
BRISBANE, Australia -- The "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's final show is complete.
The show includes footage taken in the week and days before Irwin's death, but not on the day of his death.
Irwin was killed in September after a poisonous barb from a stingray's tail pierced his chest. He was snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef in northern Australia working on a show titled "Ocean's Deadliest."
Irwin's final moments were caught on videotape, and were used in a police investigation and coroner's examination of the death.
The original tape was returned to Irwin's widow, Terri, and all copies were destroyed.
Irwin's manager said the show was completed in line with Irwin's contract with the Discovery Channel and it will air in the U.S. on Jan. 21.
