Thanks, when was his death announced publicly? This HN post was made "9 hours ago", the BBC article was published "4 hours ago" and the CNN article was at 2 hours ago at the time of writing this comment.
The articles will probably have been updated as more information comes in, so the dates on the articles may be updated. I saw the news on the CNN and BBC websites over 9 hours ago.
Most of the time those times are last updated, not when they originally posted the article.
