Televangelist Rev. Jimmy Swaggart died at the age of 90, two weeks after he suffered a heart attack. The scandal-ridden reverend never regained consciousness after the medical episode in his home in Baton Rouge on June 15, according to the Shrevport Times.

The Pentecostal preacher and pioneer of televangelism had been in critical condition at a Louisiana hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest June 15.

Born in Ferriday, Louisiana, on March 15, 1935, Jimmy launched a full-time ministry in 1955, according to his website. Three years later, he released his first album, Some Golden Daybreak, and he went on to sell over 17 million records before founding the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge in 1971.
