The body of a US soldier who went missing during a training exercise in Morocco has been recovered, the US army confirmed on Sunday. 1st Lt Kendrick Lamont Key Jr, a platoon leader in an artillery unit, disappeared near a cliff in Cap Draa on 2 May.
Moroccan search teams found his remains on Saturday in the water within a mile of where he went missing. A second US soldier remains missing, and search operations are ongoing, according to the army.
The soldiers were participating in African Lion, the US Africa Command's largest joint exercise involving US forces, Nato allies and African partner countries. The exercise in Morocco involves approximately 5,000 personnel from more than 40 countries.
