Ron Godwin, Liberty's executive vice president, said Falwell, 73, had been found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital.
Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but noted that Falwell had “a history of heart challenges.”

The partnership between the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and the Episcopal Church, USA, received “strong affirmation” Thursday as the Global Mission Event (GME) opened at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
ECUSA Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold and ELCA Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson, who also heads the Lutheran World Federation, offered keynote addresses at the GME opening ceremony, inviting the more than 1,300 participants "to be engaged in God's mission of reconciliation together as fellow guests, walking in the light of Christ, walking in the way of Christ."
"In the promise of the gospel, you and I are welcomed and sent as God's guests. What a holy calling it is that we share," Hanson said Thursday, according to ELCA News Service.
