Footage of the moment was never officially released.
Conservationist Steve Irwin died in September 2006 doing what he loved best Footage of late conservationist Steve Irwin’s tragic death was never released at the time out of respect for his legacy and his devastated family. However, fans over the years have made claims of watching the very moment he was pierced in the chest by a stingray barb on September 4, 2006 while filming for one of his popular nature programmes.
One being media influence in the sense that after his death, the incident was detailed extensively and over time, these reports ‘might have merged with people’s memories, creating a vivid, yet fabricated, recollection of actual footage’. There’s also social conformity as, hearing others claiming to have seen the footage ‘can influence individuals to believe they have seen it too, especially when the belief is widespread’.
