'He calmly looked up at me and said 'I'm dying' and that was the last thing he said. 'I was saying to him things like 'think of your kids Steve, hang on, hang on, hang on',' Lyons recalled. Lyons got Irwin into the boat and took him to a nearby island, where he was picked up by an air ambulance, but his injuries proved fatal. Irwin and Lyons were filming in shallow waters off the coast of northern Queensland when the attack occurred. 'Contrary to what I read in the papers and what I heard at the time, it didn't come out,' he added. He said the 'jagged barb' on the stingray's tail 'went through his chest like hot butter'. 'It was only when I panned the camera back that I saw Steve standing in a huge pool of blood.'

'I panned with the camera as the stingray swam away and I didn't know it had caused any damage,' he told TV viewers. The two men were filming the final scene of the day, Lyons said, when the stingray struck. He said that Irwin was not chasing or provoking the 2.4m-long stingray, and that he did not pull the barbed stingray tail out of his chest, as was initially reported. In an interview with Australian TV channel Network Ten, the cameraman provided new details about the attack and contradicted some claims made at the time of the Crocodile Hunter star's death. He also revealed that Irwin's last words were 'I'm dying'.
