After his death, Hammerl's family was led to believe by the Gaddafi regime that he was alive and safe but held in detention in Libya. His family learned about his death on 19 May after the release of a group of journalists who had been with Hammerl when he was killed. Hammerl was one of five journalists killed during the civil war.〔Chantelle Benjamin. 2011. "Libya 'broke law' over Hammerl." Business Day (South Africa), 14 June.
