Brave Robert & Bindi still miss dad Steve 12 years after tragedy
THE courageous kids of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin are proudly keeping his legacy alive while still being haunted and heartbroken by his tragic death in the waters off Australia.
“They still mourn his loss deeply, and that grief will never go away,” reveals an insider.
Bindi, 20, and Robert, 15, were eight and two years old when their dad — world famous for capturing and handling crocodiles, snakes and other dangerous critters — died. He was filming a giant stingray along the Great Barrier Reef when the animal got spooked and fatally stung him in the chest repeatedly on Sept. 4, 2006.
More than a dozen years later, Bindi’s still grappling with grief.
“I remember people coming up to me and saying, ‘I’m sorry for your loss, sweetheart. Time heals all wounds,’” she says.
“But that’s just not true. It’s like losing a part of your heart, and when you’ve lost that, you never get it back.”
