The British Journal of Photography reprints part of the Facebook thread:
Business Insider also has a screenshot of that Facebook post.
The last public communication from Tim Hetherington was this tweet from yesterday,
UPDATE: ABC News now reports the deaths of both men.UPDATE #2: The New York Times now reports that Chris Hondros is alive, but in extremely critical condition with a severe brain injury.
In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO.
