NEW YORK (AP) - The widow of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin says footage of her husband's deadly encounter with a stingray won't ever be shown on television.
In an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, Terri Irwin says she hasn't seen it and questions the purpose of airing it. Steve Irwin died earlier this month when a stingray's barb pierced his chest. He had been filming a TV show on the Great Barrier Reef.
His widow called the incident a stupid accident, likening it to "running with a pencil."
American-born Terri Irwin had been on a research trip with the couple's two children at the time. She said her family would continue her husband's efforts to teach the world about wildlife. She added that living at a zoo has helped her 8-year-old daughter understand her father's death, because she has seen animals die.
