Content creator and nature conservationist Graham “Dingo” Dinkelman has died from a venomous snake bite aged 44, his wife Kirsty confirmed. Dinkelman was allergic to snake venom and the bite he experienced sent him straight into anaphylactic shock, she said in an Instagram post last month. Known as “South Africa’s Steve Irwin”, Dinkelman spent a month in the ICU in an induced coma before he passed, Kirsty said in a statement posted to Dinkelman’s Instagram on Thursday.
“One of Dingo’s greatest joys was being able to have his family work so closely with him. Our three children ... were central to Dingo, who never missed an opportunity to express his love and pride for his family,” Kirsty said. As of Friday, Dinkelman’s YouTube channel had 111,000 subscribers and his Instagram account had nearly 650,000 followers. His videos often consisted of him handling venomous snakes, showing off crocodiles and taking care of the family’s giraffe.
