There is film footage of Steve's death which has now been given to the Coroner. Apparently he has always said that if he gets injured or even killed when making a programme it was his wish for the footage to be shown publically. I am sure that his wife would have the final say but I think that this would really be the pits in reality TV. What does everyone else think?? |

It's bad enough watching Schwarzenegger, Cruise etc killing everyone in sight. I don't think we need to see someone get killed for real. |

Bridget, not something that I would want to see either - it's positively macabre. |

It's amazing the lengths that some 'celebrities' will go to for a bit of publicity - even in death, it would seem. Sorry, but that's taking things TOO far, I'm afraid............... Chris |

how gruesome ive seen the way he torments those poor animals,so really,it was inevitable that it would happen. sting rays are placid fish so my gut instict is that he was aggravating it in some way.just like he did to snakes and crocs etc susie its still sad though. |

Surely his wife will veto that idea, if she doesn't I for one will not be watching. Sue |

no not something for general viewing I would think. Not nice is it esp when the kids go to school and say to poor Bindy 'I saw how your daddy got killed' I hope the wife puts a stop to it. catherine xx |

I heard he swam over/above it. If so, daredevil to the end. It will be up to his wife I would think if it is shown, not very nice, but I would probably watch it :(( Marion |

It is so sad, but he did constantly torment animals. It was always an accident waiting to happen. Although I have seen the odd pieces of his programmes I never watched him alive. I certainly don't want to watch the poor lads death. Deanna X |
