FURLEY, Kan. (AP) — An American soldier has been buried in rural Sedgwick County after dying in a North Korean prisoner of war camp in 1951.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the U.S. Army and Cpl. Wayne Minard’s family buried him Saturday outside unincorporated Furley. Authorities say Minard starved to death.

He was laid to rest next to his mother, Bertha, who died nine months after his death.

A military search and recovery team found Minard’s remains in 2005 and identified them earlier this year.
