A few days ago, the famous Australia crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin, was pierced in the heart by a stingray. The news appalled me. Usually stingrays are very gentle. I wonder what cause it to attack Steve Irwin. He was just swimming above it. Some say he was trying to antagonize it. I am very sure he was doing no harm to it. There was once, he carried his baby while taming a crocodile. That was a very dangerous act as he could get his baby killed. However he is a man of courage too. He joined this show and got killed in the end. His fans where very sad to see him die. Since he is an animal lover, his funeral was held in the Australia Zoo. People put flowers, cards out side his doorstep. His manager said that the recording of pulling the stingray barb would be destroyed because it was very gruesome. Right now the police are still investigating the case.

15 year old Raffles Institute GEP boy Zhi Hao died from high fever. The doctors said that he was just having a high fever. His parents said that he was not a bookworm. He was a normal boy who is an avid soccer fan. His parents reported that he had blood phlegm , coughing and perspiring. They rushed him to the nearest clinic but it was closed. So they rushed him to another clinic. The doctor there sent him to Changi Hospital. But he still could not survive. His teachers classmates all came to his funeral. Doctors have no explanation what type of virus is that. I feel very sad because such a bright boy deserves to live longer.
