LONDON - A Utah man was killed and his wife injured in the London terrorist attack on Wednesday.

Kurt and Melissa Cochran were caught in the attack on the Westminster Bridge. Relatives tell Fox 13 News Kurt died Thursday morning from his injuries.

They say Melissa remains hospitalized with several broken bones.

Relatives say the couple was in the UK visiting Melissa's parents who are serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in London.

Kurt and Melissa had been in Germany and Austria over the past few days, enjoying what they called a "dream vacation."

They recently returned to London and happened to be on that bridge when the alleged terrorist ran down people in an SUV.

The family sent Fox 13 News this statement:


A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Melissa and her family here.

According to the GoFundMe page, Melissa and Kurt were self-employed; they built a recording studio business from the ground up over the last 10 years.
