After being captured with other soldiers, Father Emil Kapaun died of pneumonia in a prison camp in Pyokong, North Korea, pictured. The Vatican is investigating whether the recovery last year of Kansas teen Chase Kear from a sports injury was a miracle that could be attributed to Kapaun. In the Catholic Church, the attribution of two confirmed miracles to a religious figure is a criterion for sainthood. (Courtesy Rose Mary Neuwirth )
