Impact of Irwin's death
Irwin's widow, Terri, stated in an interview with Access Hollywood aired on 11 January 2014 that the documentary contains no footage that was shot the day he died and that the footage of his injury and death had been destroyed. Justin Lyons, a cameraman for the documentary, has said that although footage of the incident does exist, he is against its release.[2] Cousteau filmed the remainder of the documentary weeks after Irwin's death.
Aside from a still image of Irwin with the text "In Memory of Steve," the documentary contains no mention of his death.[3]
