A missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in a Mexico mission, died in an accident Sunday.
Elder Gregory Scott Johnson, 20, Fountain Green, Utah, died while serving in the Mexico Merida Mission, said church spokesman Dale Bills.
"Elder Johnson was watching an approaching storm with his companion on the roof of their apartment building when he was shocked by a high-voltage power line," Bills said.
Funeral arrangements are pending. Merida is located in extreme southeast Mexico, just north of Guatemala.
