Details on Billy Graham's death, funeral service released
CHARLOTTE - The Rev. Billy Graham died in his sleep Wednesday morning, and though no family members were present, a spokesman said his passing was peaceful.
"It was described by nurse and doctor as a very peaceful passing," said Mark DeMoss, a spokesman for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
"He was not in any pain, and he wouldn’t have suffered any."
The BGEA held a press conference Wednesday night at the Billy Graham headquarters in Charlotte to announce details of funeral plans and to talk about Graham's final moments.
At age 99, Graham suffered from several maladies, including vision and hearing loss, as well as Parkinson's-like symptoms diagnosed nearly 20 years ago.
DeMoss said Graham's personal physician, Dr. Lucian Rice of Asheville, described it this way: "He just wore out."
