A top-ranking Mormon leader headed to hospice

SALT LAKE CITY – A top-ranking Mormon leader, 92-year-old L. Tom Perry, is headed to hospice as his cancer spreads aggressively.

Cancer found last month in Perry’s thyroid gland has spread to his lungs and beyond, a church spokesman said in a statement Friday.

Perry is at home and no longer will attend meetings of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, a high-level Mormon governing body of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will be moved to hospice in the coming days, Hawkins said.
