        (2) A finding by a board appointed under section 1509 of this
      title that confirms that a missing person formerly declared dead
      is in fact dead.

      (c) Subsequent Review. - Appeals from a decision of the district
    court shall be taken to the appropriate United States court of
    appeals and to the Supreme Court as provided by law.
