no "crocodile hunter" steve irwin death footage.

in what has to go done as one of the most classy and respectful things i have ever heard of, the one and only copy of the event was given to his wife for her to do with as she pleased. she had it destroyed. in this day and age of so much voyeuristic sensationalism and exploitation it actually made me feel good to read that.

Do you believe she really had it destroyed?

Is there proff of this?

Why keep footage of your spouse's death?

i have a lot of respect for that family. i believe the daughter will grow up and take over where her dad left off. she is an amazing child.

It's got to be worth an easy $100,000.

Or because it's literally your spouse's LAST MOMENT on earth? I'd lock that up in a safe deposit box. Destroying it is just stupid.

Besides, I would put a lot of money that someone dubbed it as it went through the evidence chain

I was thinking this too.

But,

The Australian community respects him deeply and there were probably some security measures taken place to gaurd the footage.

true, and perhaps a little more integrity and morals there than here in the good ole' usa.

I agree 100%, I seen Bindy (cute name) on some shows with him and you can just tell she's gonna follow his career path. They have a son too, i'm sure both of them will prolly work together. And i'm glad the tape got destroyed (supposedly), i woulda thought it'd be all over the internet and stuff, some things just shouldn't be made public

Corwin's a closet case, i miss my #1 bloke Steve!!
