I found him very irritating but do I feel sad for his family. He had an 8 year old daughter and a 2 year old son.

He was hugely popular over here in the States. I have to say I liked him. :/

Australia is truly in mourning. Yesterday we lost Peter Brock who a legend race car driver. Very sad. Vale Peter.

Everyone is speculating about "who will be next". So noir.

Unfortunately that sort of thing happens. The tails were prized as weapons (like knives, etc) long before his death brought it to everyone's attention. There's one nationality in particular that love those things. :?

Being from Florida(US) I can say ive been stung a few times by stingrays. They hurt like fuck, but thats got to be some kind of freak coincidence that it got him right through the heart. They're tails generally go left to right if im not mistaken. I suppose he may have goten it by and up and down swing, but the easiest way to the heart would be with a jabbing motion, yeah? They got it on video im sure. Think itll get leaked?
