Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s widow Terri has refused to watch the footage of her husband’s death by a stingray barb to the heart off the coast of Australia. Even though Steve had stated before his death that if he should ever die on tape, he would wish that footage to be shown.
In an interview to air tonight with Barbara Walters on 20/20 Terri stated, “What purpose would that serve?”
Irwin’s best friend & business manager John Stainton, who has seen the film, supports Terri’s decision.
He told Walters, “It’s just a horrible piece of film tape.”
Steve was filming a special underwater film for his daughter Bindi’s new TV show when the stingray struck with its poisonous barb.
