How did Steve Irwin die?

A stingray attack can be fatal, especially if the animal's venomous barb, located on its tail, penetrates vital organs such as the heart or abdomen, causing severe tissue damage, internal bleeding, and potentially fatal shock. Although the venom itself typically causes severe pain, swelling, and other systemic symptoms such as nausea and weakness, death is more commonly the result of direct physical injury to the organ affected by the puncture.
