A fourth man from Portsmouth who went to fight in Syria for Islamic State (IS) is believed to have been killed.
Mehdi Hassan, 19, travelled to the country with a group of four other men in October 2013.
A photo of his body emerged on Twitter on Friday and his family confirmed earlier to their local mosque they had received news of his death.
Iftekar Jaman, Mamunur Roshid and Hamidur Rahman have previously been killed in the fighting.
In a statement, the Foreign Office said it had not received any reports about Mr Hassan's death but was "aware of reports about the death of a British national in Syria".
Chairman of the Portsmouth Jami Mosque, Abdul Jalil, said: "It has been confirmed with the family that he has died. Right now they are very upset.
"I am saddened and again shocked for the community about this news."
On Tuesday, the mosque confirmed Mr Roshid, 24, had died. He left the UK with Mr Hassan, Mr Rahman, Assad Uzzaman, and Mashudur Choudhury.
Choudhury returned to the UK after a few weeks and was arrested at Gatwick Airport.
In May, he became the first person in the UK to be convicted of terrorist offences in connection with the conflict in Syria.
Mr Uzzaman is still believed to be in Syria.
Britain's most senior police officer, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, has said at least five Britons are travelling to Iraq and Syria to join IS every week.
An estimated 500 are already fighting with the group.
