Orlando pastor and radio host facing child sex abuse charges dies by apparent suicide

[TexasTowelie]

An Orlando pastor and radio host jailed on child sex-abuse charges has died by apparent suicide, according to an Orlando Sentinel report.

Rev. Bryan Fulwider, a 59-year-old former minister and a co-host of radio show Friends Talking Faith, had been arrested and was facing charges of repeated "sexual battery of a minor by a person in custodial authority." The Winter Park Police Department says he was found in his Altamonte Springs home Sunday night by Altamonte Springs police.

Fulwider had been out on bail since Oct. 17, and was facing life in prison if convicted. Police responded to his home just before midnight for a possible suicide call, where a person was pronounced dead at the scene. While the Altamonte police did not initially name Fulwider until a pending medical examiner’s evaluation was completed, the Winter Park police shared the information.

“We have been told that Mr. Fulwider has passed,” said Winter Park Police Criminal Investigations chief Pam Marcum.

4. What? Isn't that what's taught in religious circles? This guy's a pastor ...

Seems legit to point out to me ... when the rubber hits the road as it were ... 'worldly' concerns apparently end up more important than spiritual ones, even to 'religious leaders'.

I think it's a fair point, myself. Guess they didn't REALLY believe their dogma, IOW.

Hope the victim gets the help they almost certainly need.

5. Its both ugly and doctrine.

All those suicides burning for eternity along side the unbaptized children and all the other people who were not quite right for the true believers.

6. suicide is self murder. murder is a sin. only god can give and take life so

taking your own life is an affront to god and usurps the authority of god, more sins.

8. Ok people... this is all there is....

The guy was abusive, he lived a lie, he got caught, he was a coward that wouldn't accept responsibility, so he offed himself. That's it. He's dead. There's nothing mystical about it. Now start thinking about helping the living instead of dwelling on death, revenge or self pity.

10. +1

Though I do think the quandary posed ... is worth considering ...

16. You make some good points, but making it some mystical journey

is not paying attention to what matters. The living matter, not the adding of another layer of dogma based fear and retribution.

18. Maybe people are relieved to see hypocrisy...

in someone else. Don't know.
