Friends of the family of Carlos Rios have confirmed that he was found dead in his apartment early today after a friend went to check on him. Neighbors report that numerous ambulances and police were called to investigate.
A justice of the peace has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Rios had run for the board of trustees of the Texas Southmost College in the last election and came within a few votes for the runoff for Place 6 seat held by incumbent Dr. Rey Garcia. J.J. De Leon eventually beat out Garcia in a runoff.
After his loss, Rios was involved in several alcohol-related incidents but posted in social media that his faith and support of family would see him through his personal crisis.
Our condolences to his mother, his family and his friends. It is sad to see a young man with such a promising future taken from among us. May peace be with him, and with us.
