Jerry Falwell, the preacher man who corralled the religious right into a force to be reckoned with and founded the Moral Majority, died today after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was 73. The university’s executive vice president, Ron Godwin, said Falwell was found unresponsive around 10:45 this morning and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital where “CPR efforts were unsuccessful.” Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but said Falwell “has a history of heart challenges.” (More at LA Times)
