The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says a missionary from Texas has died in Mexico.

The Church released a statement saying 19-year-old Elder Andrew Carr of Fort Worth died early Saturday.

The statement says Carr died from asphyxiation, apparently due to a faulty water heater in his apartment in Mexico City.

Carr had been serving a mission for the Church since October of last year.
