I learned more about this than i would like: You're right. www.legacy.com/NS/Obituary.aspx?pid=19127166 I thought the spear got in about the region of the heart, the stingray poison would be fatal anyway, but it states that the spear went straight trough his heart. I think steve did the right thing, as the spear was a filled with poison, in his best knowelege he pulled it out, thinking to remove the poison, but you dont last long with anything trough your heart. Steve's cause of death was cardiac arrest, but caused by a huge fucking hole in hir heart. GOD i need to hug something ;_;
