Fred
Phelps, the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, has died at the age
of 84, according to two of his children.
His son, Timothy Phelps, confirmed to Kansas' WIBW that Fred Phelps died
"before midnight" on Wednesday. His daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper,
also confirmed news of the death to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
However, at least one family member seemed to dispute the reports of his
siblings, as attorney Jonathan Phelps told WIBW: "Pastor Phelps is
doing just fine." The network notes this could be a spiritual reference.
