The North Dakota National Guard says a soldier serving in Kosovo has died of apparent natural causes.

Terry Rishling, 38, of Fargo, died about 6 p.m. Wednesday. Guard spokesman Rick Smith says Rishling had not been feeling well and had gone to a hospital at Camp Bondsteel, where he died. An autopsy will be done.

About 650 North Dakotans are part of a peacekeeping force in Kosovo. Rishling was a part of Valley City-based Alpha Company, 231st Maneuver Task Force.

A ceremony was being held Friday in Pristina, Kosovo, for fellow soldiers to honor Rishling as his body was put on a plane to be flown back to the U.S. A memorial ceremony was scheduled Monday at Camp Bondsteel.
