Never heard of this nutcase but yeah, seems like he probably didn't need to be so much on top of the dirt as much as under it.

Since we are on a ham radio forum, is he the guy with the raspy voice all over the shortwave bands?

This "man" was the leader of a radio ministry and could be heard on shortwave radio. He got arrested repeatedly for sexual abuse of women and children in his perish. So, somewhat relevant on the SWL forum, and a lot of people are not sad about his demise.

His followers will probably play recordings of him for years to come!

Oh, the infamous "Brother Stair".
Yeah, he used to be all over shortwave broadcast.
Sorry, not going to miss that guy.

Is this a trick question?

I think an 'artical' about the death of one of the most widely heard, longest airing and controversial SW personalities was worth mentioning in the SWL section of the forum. Not that I will miss him one bit -- he was a wicked pedo whackjob and good riddance -- but his 'weight' in SW broadcasting was so heavy, his money stream to WRMI and WBCQ and at least a half dozen AM/MW stations so constant and pernicious that his death is already causing financial strain to those stations. It is affecting domestic US SW broadcasting.

So I think that might be somewhat relevant to the SWL SECTION of the forums here on eHam.

That's my guess as well. Not that I'll be listening, but so long as the programming and the ability to pay for the airtime are all lined up, business is business.
