Kayla Mueller, a 26-year-old American woman held by the Islamic State, has been confirmed dead, her parents and the Obama administration said Tuesday.

The White House said that Mueller’s family received a private message from her captors over the weekend. The information in the message was authenticated by the US intelligence community.
“We are heartbroken to share that we’ve received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller, has lost her life,” Carl and Marsha Mueller said in a statement. “Kayla was a compassionate and devoted humanitarian. She dedicated the whole of her young life to helping those in need of freedom, justice, and peace.”

Her family also released a note written by Mueller while in captivity, in which she said she had accepted her situation and was healthy, but looked forward to their reunion.

President Barack Obama said that Mueller, who was working with Syrian refugees, “epitomized all that is good in our world.”
“No matter how long it takes, the United States will find and bring to justice the terrorists who are responsible for Kayla’s captivity and death,” the president said.
Secretary of State John Kerry praised Mueller for her humanitarian work.
“While ISIL exploited the crisis in Syria to rule by violence and massacre the innocent, human tragedy moved Kayla to do the opposite,” he said in a statement

The Arizona native previously volunteered with organizations in India, the Palestinian territories and with the African Refugee Development Center in Israel.
On Friday, the Islamic State had claimed that Mueller died in a Jordanian airstrike.
Jordan, which has launched a barrage of strikes in recent days in retaliation for the gruesome killing of one of its pilots at the hands of the militants, disputed that report and the White House said at the time that it had seen no evidence to corroborate the Islamic State claims.

Mueller, is the fourth American to die while being held by Islamic State militants. Three other Americans — journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and aid worker Peter Kassig — were beheaded by the group...http://www.timesofisrael.com/us-confirms-american-hostage-held-by-islamic-state-killed/
