An American male 44yrs died in Townsville hospital following a sting which occured at port Douglas north of Cairns Qld.
Irukandji syndrome has been blamed but the actual species hasn't been positively ID'd.
This is the second death within a couple months.
Thought you'd all like to know since this info doesn't seem to be in the mainsteam media
