19-year-old dies during LDS Churchmission in Mexico

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says a 19-year-old Texas man serving a mission in Mexico City died Saturday morning.

Church spokesman Daniel Woodruff said Sunday Andrew Carr of Fort Worth, Texas, died of asphyxiation from what seemed to be a faulty water heater in his apartment that left him unable to breathe.

His roommate was unharmed. Woodruff said Carr had left for a proselyting mission in Mexico City in October 2018.

Carr’s family says in a statement they are deeply saddened by the loss and seeking comfort in their religion as they grieve his death.
