Ms Colvin was killed on February 22 when when Syrian forces targeted a
makeshift press centre where she and other foreign journalists were working.
She was on the ground floor of the building when the barrage fell and was
apparently killed as she tried to retrieve her shoes to flee. The blast also
killed Remi Ochlik, a French photographer. Paul Conroy, a British
photographer and Edith Bouvier, a French journalist, were also injured.
Ms Colvin’s family has expressed its desire to have her body repatriated to
her native US but if it has been buried then it seems likely her final
resting place will be the city on whose bloody fate she tirelessly reported.
