This is an example where you say it one way in Spanish but you can say it various ways in English.
Murió means died which can include being killed (one way of dying) depending on context. In this particular context in English we would use "died" or "was killed" interchangeably because it's understood that the mines were responsible for the death.
In spanish when I hear "fue matado" I think homicide or assassination. So if you say "Un soldado fue matado mientras retiraba minas", I would understand that maybe while he was working, someone else (a guerrilla fighter or an enemy soldier") had killed him. But it wouldn't be clear.
