CANBERRA (Reuters) – Quirky crocodile hunter Steve Irwin had a sixth sense that he would die young, his American-born wife Terri said on Monday.
More than a year after the Khaki-clad naturalist died from a stingray’s barb that pierced his heart, Terri Irwin told Australian television she had always tried to deflect her 44-year old husband’s darker moments.
“He wasn’t morbid about it, or awful about it, he was open and earnest about it. We’ve got to accomplish everything we can,” she told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television’s Enough Rope series. “Steve had a real sixth sense about so many things. He had an odd connection with wildlife. He was extraordinarily intuitive with people. I found it all very, I don’t know if ‘eerie’ is the word, but remarkable, certainly.”
