The Fayette County coroner’s office has reached preliminary findings in the death of Carol Barr, the 39-year-old wife of Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY), who passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday at their family home in Lexington, Kentucky.
The coroner’s office announced on Wednesday that Barr died of a mitral valve prolapse, reports The New York Times of the preliminary findings. This condition, which is typically not serious, is characterized by the inability of either one or both of the mitral valves to close smoothly.
