Footage of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin being killed by a stingray will be shown on TV to honour his wishes.

The daredevilÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s cameramen captured the moment yesterday when the Aussie legend was stabbed through the heart by the fishÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s deadly barbed tail.

Steve had always ordered his crew to carry on filming even if he was mauled to death.

So the graphic footage showing Steve, 44, being speared to death off AustraliaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Great Barrier Reef is set for a sensational broadcast.
Queensland Police seized the tapes as the death sent shockwaves around the world.

But it is understood SteveÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s family have vowed to grant the real-life Crocodile Dundee his "dying wish".

Steve famously said: "My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s shaky or slightly out of focus, I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t give a rip!

"Even if a big big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, Ã¢â‚¬ËœCrikey!Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me."

An insider said: "This is exactly what Steve would have wanted. He knew the dangers and was totally up for the cameras to get everything."

Steve became a worldwide star thanks to cult show The Crocodile Hunter having a global audience of 500million in 126 countries.

In Britain, where his adventures are followed by an army or young fans, there were reports of youngsters weeping in schools as the news spread in the early morning.

Friend and producer John Stainton said Steve was swimming over the top of a giant stingray in shallow water when the normally placid stingray speared him in the chest.

Steve was hauled onto his research boat Ã¢â‚¬â€œ Croc One Ã¢â‚¬â€œ but paramedics could not revive him.

Bad weather had stopped filming for SteveÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s new documentary Ã¢â‚¬â€œ ironically called OceanÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Deadliest.

He decided to shoot footage for an upcoming series hosted by daughter Bindi Sue, eight, who is just as passionate about wildlife as her dad.

That programe features footage of tiger sharks, turtles and stingrays and involved no apparent risks.

John added: "BindiÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s new TV show is going to premiere next January throughout America and the world.

"It should have been an innocent encounter for a TV show aimed at children. Steve was an integral part of that programme. We will do him proud and continue that effort."

SteveÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s American wife, wildlife campaigner Terri, was trekking in Tasmania with their children Bindi Sue and Bob Clarence, two, when news filtered through.

They were last night flying back to the family home in Queensland where the couple ran Australia Zoo.

John said: "As they say, behind every good man is a good woman and she was the brains behind the operation. SheÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a strong person."

Mourners were yesterday leaving flowers at the zoo, which was started by SteveÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s dad Bob in the 1970s.

Family friend and Aussie PM John Howard led tributes describing Steve as "a huge loss to Australia".

Breaking the news in Australian Parliament, Mr Howard said: "He brought joy and entertainment and excitement to millions of people. He was a one-off character."

Steve is such a big Aussie icon that thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s even talk of a state funeral.

AfricaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s great croc hunter Khalid Hassen Ã¢â‚¬â€œ who has killed 17,000 of them Ã¢â‚¬â€œ said: "Nobody else has done what he did. He was really an outstanding person, he was fearless and a showman."

Pal John added: "He died doing what he loved best. The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet."
