Alleged Australian suicide bomber Jake Bilardi's passport was cancelled in October last year, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says.
The Melbourne teenager is believed to have been killed in one of a series of Islamic State suicide bombings across the Iraqi city of Ramadi.
Ms Bishop said if the reports were confirmed it was another tragic example of a young Australian being lured to a "senseless and violent death".
Australian authorities were aware Bilardi travelled to Iraq and Syria in August last year, she said.
"In October on the advice of our security agencies, I cancelled his Australian passport," Ms Bishop said.
At least 20 Australians have been killed in the conflict and 100 passports have been cancelled on national security grounds.
