The Islamic State released a video last week claiming that Kayla Mueller, 26, was killed in an air attack by coalition forces against the militants in Syria. The group’s claims about how Mueller died have not been confirmed.
Her family released a statement saying that they received confirmation of her death. They did not disclose how they learned of her death.
“We are heartbroken to share that we’ve received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller has lost her life,” said parents Carl and Marsha Mueller and her brother, Eric.
Mueller had a long history of volunteering to help women and children, having worked for aid groups in Arizona before setting out for other countries, including India and Turkey.
In August 2013, she was abducted in the Syrian city of Aleppo as she left a hospital operated by Doctors Without Borders and was being held in Raqqa, a militant stronghold in northeastern Syria. source
