Michel du Cille, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist for The Washington Post, died Thursday of an apparent heart attack while on assignment in Liberia. He was 58. Du Cille collapsed outside of a village in the Salala district in Liberia’s Bong County and was transported to a hospital more than two hours away. In a statement to Washington Post staff, Executive Editor Martin Baron said, “We are all heartbroken. We have lost a beloved colleague and one of the world’s most accomplished photographers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Michel’s wife and fellow Post photographer, Nikki Kahn, and his two children.”
