Mormon YouTuber Chandler David Hendry, 27, dies in a car crash in Utah, according to multiple reports. The incident occurs shortly after he shares content discussing the afterlife, prompting reactions from followers.
Police accounts cited by outlets say Hendry runs a red light and crashes into other vehicles. Witnesses report he strikes two cars, and at least one report describes the crash as involving three vehicles. The drivers and passengers in the other cars are reported to be unharmed.
Outlets describe Hendry as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a faith-based content creator who builds an audience on platforms including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The New York Post and Times of India both reference the timing of his last posts, including an Instagram or social media clip centered on the afterlife, family relationships, and related religious themes. The main differences are how each outlet characterizes the crash details and the emphasis placed on his final video.
