American man suspected of fighting with Islamic State is killed
An American man believed to have been killed in Syria was there to fight alongside an extremist militant group, most likely the Islamic State, a US official said.

Investigators were aware that Douglas McAuthur McCain was in the country to fight with the militant group, but they did not yet have his body and were still trying to verify information about his death, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss by name an ongoing investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

A family member said on Tuesday that the State Department had confirmed McCain was killed in Syria.

Kenyata McCain, Douglas' cousin, said she noticed he had changed and had "lost his identity".

But she said her cousin never admitted to being a "terrorist."

It is unclear when Douglas McCain, who had most recently lived in San Diego, traveled to Syria.

He grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope.
