Tumor Kills Woman Just Before Start of Faith Healing Service
A 24-year-old woman suffering from a brain tumor died Wednesday at the Anaheim Convention Center at a faith healing revival, just before the healing service was to start, authorities said.
The woman’s family had attended the Benny Hinn Miracle Invasion Crusade in hope of healing the woman who had been diagnosed with brain cancer in 1984, according to authorities.
The woman, whose name was not available, apparently died while sitting in a wheelchair, coroner’s office said, adding that her family would not allow paramedics to resuscitate her.
The Orange County coroner’s office said the woman died of natural causes.
