No funeral plans have been announced although State Premier Peter Beattie said Irwin would be afforded a state funeral if his family approved. Irwin's body was being flown home on Tuesday from Cairns. Irwin, 44, who won worldwide acclaim as TV's khaki-clad "Crocodile Hunter", was shooting footage for a new wildlife project he was making with daughter Bindi, when he was attacked. "It's a very hard thing to watch because you're actually witnessing somebody die. The cameraman had to shut down," he said. "He pulled it out and the next minute he's gone. "It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest)," manager John Stainton told reporters after watching the footage. Video footage has revealed that Steve Irwin pulled out of his heart the poisonous stingray barb that killed him moments before he lost consciousness.
