Bertakis, of Lighthouse Point, was boating on the Intracoastal Waterway on Wednesday afternoon when a 3-foot-wide stingray burst from the water and stuck his chest with its barb.
An anonymous gurgling message to a Palm Beach radio station claimed the attack was retaliation for all those stingray murders after Steve Irwin’s death. And in protest against the Zionist entity's occupation of Palestine.
