Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter dies in Syria
New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner who covered nearly two decades of Middle East conflict and turmoil, has died of an apparent asthma attack.
February 17, 2012
(CNN) New York - The newspaper said it was not immediately known how or where he died. Tyler Hicks, a Times photographer who was with Shadid, carried his body over the border to Turkey.
Hicks said Shadid, who was carrying medication for his asthma, displayed symptoms Thursday morning, when they joined guides on horseback for the trip out of the country. The animals may have triggered the asthma, Hicks said.
