Louisiana televangelist Jimmy Swaggart is in intensive care after going into cardiac arrest, according to his family. His son, Donnie Swaggart, said his 90-year-old father went into cardiac arrest around 8 am on Sunday and has "never regained consciousness."

The younger Swaggart said that paramedics dispatched to the home were able to find a heartbeat before the preacher was rushed for treatment at a nearby hospital.

He told his congregation at the Family Worship Center during a special service on Sunday how he found his father unresponsive in his mother’s house.

“This morning at a little after eight, Gabe and I rushed into Mother’s house. Dad had gone into cardiac arrest. He never regained consciousness. We both took turns giving him chest compressions until EMT could get there and they were, I’ve never seen so many people arrive at one time and I want to thank them,” he said.
