Harold Camping, the radio preacher who convinced thousands of followers that Jesus would return on May 21, 2011, to usher in the end of the the world, has died, according to a statement released late Monday (Dec. 16) by his Family Radio network. He was 92.
Camping died Sunday evening, an employee at Family Radio confirmed. He had fallen at his home on Nov. 30 and had been in weak health due to a stroke since 2011.
Camping first predicted Jesus' return in 1994, but his most recent forecasts gained national attention through advertisements and the Family Radio network of stations he founded. He warned that "judgment day" would occur in May 2011 and said the world would end in October 2011.
