SUMMARY: Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, once a widely followed Pentecostal preacher whose ministry earned millions, died at age 90 after recent poor health.

His career collapsed after being caught with prostitutes in scandals during the late 1980s and early 1990s, leading to his defrocking and diminished audience.
