President Carter revealed the sad news before teaching a Sunday school class at his local church. Carter added in that when Jeremy’s mother went to authenticate on him, the young man’s heart had stopped. Jimmy Carter said another family member performed CPR on Jeremy Carter, but was unsuccessful. He told his class of the death of his grandson just hours earlier.
The cause of death has not yet been determined. Carter said his grandson, just 28 years old, had excused himself from supper to lay down because he wasn’t feeling well.
