Roger,

Announcement from China Manned Space Agency
http://en.cmse.gov.cn/col/col1763/index.html

Tiangong-1 reenters the atmosphere
Tiangong-1 reentered the atmosphere at about 8:15 am, 2 April, Beijing time. The reentry falling area located in the central region of South Pacific. Most of the devices were ablated during the reentry process.



8:15am in Beijing was 10:15am EST. There are probably no photos because it came down in a relatively uninhabited part of the South Pacific. Putting their description together with the last ground track it might have been east of Kiribati, south of Hawaii.
