Last words of Steve Irwin before his death will send chills down your spine

Steve Irwin, popularly known as Crocodile Hunter, had said the most chilling words in his final moments, according his cameraman.

Speaking to Daily Mail Justin Lyons spoke about the fateful day when the celebrity conservationist was fatally stabbed by a stingray’s barb in 2006 when filming in Queensland.

He recalled that it was "a beautiful morning" and that they were having "a great time" when they spotted a large stingray and wanted to get close.

Justin said that while filming went smoothly, trouble began when they moved in for the final shot in which Steve was swimming behind the creature.

Justin said: "Instead of swimming off, [the ray] propped himself on the front of its wings and pushed his rear end up and started madly stabbing with his tail towards Steve. The water boiled with bubbles, thrashing and whatnot."

When the stingray swam off, Justin saw blood in the water and the team scrambled to get him on the boat to cover his chest.

Justin said: "Steve is tensing up writhing in pain. Brian keeps saying, 'Think of your kids, you'll be right'.

"Steve looks directly at me and says, 'I'm dying.' I told him, 'No you're not, you'll be right just hang in there'."

However, it was too late ad by the time they reach to shore, paramedics had already declared him dead.
