Pastor drop dead after he confess his indulgence in adultery to his church

A Connecticut pastor seeking to cleanse his soul for a long-past
infidelity met fire and brimstone, then forgiveness from his flock
before reportedly keeling over from a suspected heart attack.
Bishop Bobby Davis, pastor and founder of the Miracle Faith
World Outreach Church in Bridgeport, kept parishioners after
services Sunday, saying he wanted to come clean about an apparent
affair he’d had, one congregant told the Connecticut Post. Although
police are investigating the incident, indications are that he suffered
a fatal heart attack after getting a mixed response.
“After the service on Sunday, the bishop’s family asked us to
remain in the church and the bishop confessed to us something that
happened long ago,” parishioner Judy Stovall told the newspaper.
“He wanted to come clean with all of us. He wanted to ask our
forgiveness.”
Davis, who served as pastor since the church was founded in 1967,
reportedly dropped to the floor during the screaming.
“We were shouting, `We forgive you, we love you,’ but the stress
of all of it — he had a heart attack,” Stovall told the paper. “I
held his head as he lay on the floor … Our congregation is hurting
now.”
Davis, of Monroe, founded the church with his wife, Christine.
The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last June,
the newspaper reported.
Davis was pronounced dead at Bridgeport Hospital. The cause of
death is still under investigation, according to police sources who
spoke to the newspaper.
The official cause of death is still being determined, according to the
Office of the State Medical Examiner. Police spokesman
William Kaempffer told the paper that a detective has been
assigned to the case. “The circumstances are under investigation,”
he said.
The Christian Post cited an unidentified church member who said
the bishop did not decide to come clean on his own. The member
said Davis confessed to his wife earlier, and she insisted that he tell
congregants, The Christian Post reported. The revelation triggered
outrage from Davis” children, who “got physical,” the outlet
reported.
Police have interviewed dozens of witnesses and are reportedly
reviewing video from inside the church that was taken by a
member.
