FPS Controller bug?

My FPS controller asset has some problems when I try to add an animator component to it. Whenever I do, the character will not look up or down--only left and right. When I remove the animator component, it works again. Is this a bug or something I can fix?

I began to experience this problem when I tried to animate a death sequence for the fpscontroller. I have an animation & script that disables the fpscontroller character controller upon death, and another animation & script that rotates the firstpersoncharacter to the side (like it fell over).

Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any questions about my project.
