Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart dies at 90
SUMMARY: Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, once a widely followed Pentecostal preacher whose ministry earned millions, died at age 90 after recent poor health. Rising from humble beginnings in Louisiana, Swaggart built a vast ministry with TV broadcasts and music, drawing millions by the late 1980s. His career collapsed after being caught with prostitutes in scandals during the late 1980s and early 1990s, leading to his defrocking and diminished audience. Despite controversies and public mockery, he continued preaching at his ministry in Baton Rouge with his son Donnie. Swaggart is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
