Thus, a successful evacuation of the crew member was achieved, who was later referred to the Ilo Hospital with the participation of a SAMU medical unit. The stingray is a species whose tail has spines that contain poison that can be lethal to humans. On September 4, 2006, Australian conservationist and television personality Steve Irwin, known as the “crocodile hunter”, died when a stingray pierced his heart.
