TELEVANGELIST Jimmy Swaggart has died at age 90 over two weeks after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Swaggart was hospitalized last month after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, his family said.
The televangelist died just one day after he was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame on Monday.
Swaggart faced an uphill battle as he lost consciousness during the medical incident two weeks ago, his son Donnie said.
“Without a miracle, his time is short,” Donnie told ABC affiliate WBRZ-TV at the time.
Megan Kelly, who managed the family’s public relations, told the outlet Swaggart was quickly transported to the hospital after he went into cardiac arrest.
“Ambulances were able to respond very quickly. They gave him CPR, they took turns doing it, and you can imagine how emotional that was and how stressful that was in that moment,” Kelly said.
