Ms Nettleton died from medical complications in 2015, while Sharrouf and his two eldest children died in a 2017 air strike.
The dead couple’s remaining children - daughters aged 17 and 16 and a nine-year-old son - are believed to be trapped in Baghuz, the last small pocket of Syria ISIS still control.
