Liberty University Founder Jerry Falwell Dies at 73


This morning Lynchburg, Virginia is preparing for its graduating class of 2007 to receive their degrees. However, they are also in mourning for the leader of their University and its founder Rev. Jerry Falwell. Falwell is famed for establishing the moral majority in America. The Liberty University campus is the largest Evangelical school with 20,000 students. Falwell was found by a colleague in his office at Liberty yesterday afternoon unconscious and unresponsive. Falwell's son told reporters that his father mentioned that, "He was feeling better than he'd felt in awhile." The Reverend was known to have heart trouble and at this time Dr. Carl Moore, Falwell's physician confirms that may be the reason for Falwell's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and students of Dr. Jerry Falwell. For this and other news please go to www.foxnews.com or www.cnn.com. (Picture provided by foxnews.com)
