Fox picked it up later 30 minutes later via Twitter. The first broadcast was apparently what I heard via their breaking news feed into the radio station and the web 'blurb' showed up seconds prior to my posting it above.
Update: From the radio station:
FOX News (feed) sez:
Two former Navy SEALs working as security contractors aboard the Maersk Alabama were found dead Tuesday aboard the container ship, a day after it was docked near an island northeast of Madagascar, according to the Trident Group, the security firm that employed the men.
The company said families of the two contractors have been notified and requested that their names not be released.
A spokesman from the shipping line only confirmed that two people had been found dead, citing the ongoing investigation.
The Maersk Alabama was featured in the movie 'Captain Phillips,' which was based on a pirate hijacking off the coast of Somalia in 2009. It had been docked in Victoria, Seychelles, which is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean.
I’m too much of a paranoid, conspiracy theorist to attempt a reply, but I’ll be paying attention to this thread.
Fox News (Martha McCallum) reporting this right now.
Bookmark! Prayers Said.
Wasn’t there a few minutes ago. Was browsing tweets when I found the story.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
For those who haven’t seen it, the movie ‘Captain Phillips’ is worth watching.
You consider Fox/Bloomberg to be "extremist/right-wing"???
Theory ... Killers were in a container? Loaded to ship with supplies and escape means?
Nothing on Lloyds news yet.
Just speculating, but I’d guess this was a long-planned revenge hit for the first Maersk Alabama episode.

Thanks for posting. BTTT!
It is with great sorrow that Trident Group confirms the death of two Security contractors while onboard a merchant vessel which was pierside in the Seychelles. At the request of the families, the names are not being released. Seychelles authorities are conducting a full investigation of the circumstances surrounding the incident. There is no immediate indication as to the cause of death, but the deaths were not caused by operational activity. The next of kin have asked that no further information be released and requested that all respect the privacy of the families. Thomas Rothrauff President/CEOFrom Fox News, a/o 2220 UTC :
Authorities identified the two men as Jeffrey Reynolds and Mark Kennedy, both 44.Details of the contractors' deaths remain unclear, but they were not on watch and did not die while performing a security operation, Tom Rothrauff, the president of the Trident Group, said. He said an initial assessment of the scene did not suggest any foul play.
Tragic. (and mysterious)
Glen Doherty is the sniper who shot the Somali pirate who was holding Captain Phillips hostage. (According to stuff I read previously)
I hate to even post this update, but I would never put it up as its own thread
