There will be no airing of the Steve Irwin death video if his widow Terri has any say in the matter. The soul mate of the Crocodile Hunter is doing a series of interviews with Australian television and also will appear on ABC's 20/20 here in the United States.

The Crocodile Hunter Can Rest in Peace

On the question of whether the video should be aired as many fans have asked for and wish to see, Terri responded, "What purpose would that serve?" she asked presenter Barbara Walters, according to the BBC.

The American-born Terri Irwin also said she would continue to work in the field of wildlife conservation and was coping with her grief "one minute at a time".

In her first public interview with Channel 9 in Australia, Terri said she would never reveal any details about where Steve is buried despite strong speculation his final resting place was on the grounds of the family's Australia Zoo, reports the Australian news.

"Steve had particular wishes for after he died and I carried out his particular wishes and one of them was that he'd lived life so big that he just wanted some personal privacy at that point, and I gave him that,'' she said.

"I gave him that so that there's just a handful of people who will ever know, that was his wish. I don't think he wanted it to be a big deal."

And for his farewell, his daughter Bindi put together a box of trinkets, notes and keepsakes to go with her father into his next life.

Their last good-bye is described by the Gold Coast Bulletin:

"Steve drove us to the airstrip and he said goodbye to the kids, and goodbye to me and he gave me a kiss and I went to get on the plane and I was helping Robert up the steps and he grabbed me a second time and gave me a kiss,'' Terri said.

"He just embraced me and said `I love you'. And I was going to say, be careful when you're diving, because diving always worried me. He never liked me saying be careful, he'd be like whatever…"

"And I remember thinking that for a fleeting moment, I didn't say it. We just said I love you."
