Biography[]
While Tommy Carter was at Starfleet Academy, he met and fell in love with Leon Sawchuk. They maintained a steady relationship, and eventually both served together aboard the Enterprise.
In 2269 or 2270, Carter drowned in a corridor when the Enterprise was flooded by Ulum near Polymax VIII. Sawchuk was grief-stricken. Kirk consoled him, knowing that the two had been together for a long time. (TOS - New Visions comic: "What Pain It Is to Drown")
