BEIRUT — A Lebanese man living in Turkey who was killed along with his daughter in Monday's earthquake was buried on Friday in Wadi Khaled, in Akkar governorate, L'Orient Today's correspondent in the region reported.
His daughter was reportedly buried in Turkey.
Wissam Mohammad Kheir al-Asaad lived in Antakya, in Turkey's south.
He and his daughter Nada both died in the deadly earthquake, Wadi Khaled mayor Ahmad al-Sheikh told L'Orient Today.
Many local residents attended the funeral.
At least six Lebanese people died in Turkey and Syria in Monday's earthquake, while at least three others were found alive under the rubble.
The massive earthquake killed more than 22,300 people, according to the latest estimates, in one of the region's deadliest disasters in a century.
The earthquake and its aftershocks were felt in Lebanon, raising fears among residents. A number of people in northern Lebanon's Tripoli fled their homes, causing traffic jams on the roads. Several buildings were damaged, but no casualties or injuries were reported.

Correction: A previous version of this article erroneously stated that al-Asaad had lived in Gaziantep and that his daughter's name was Nadoua. He in fact lived in Antakya and her name was Nada.
