how does one explain to one's six-year-old that one of her favorite TV personalities is dead?

Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin was apparently killed by taking a stingray barb to the chest while filming north of Cairns, Australia.

(why do I have the feeling that he was probably doing something like attempting to pet the ray?)

anyway... this is not something that our darling oversensitive daughter needs to find out about right away, i suspect.
