From KALB news, “An elderly member of Life Tabernacle Church in Central, La. has died of the novel coronavirus, according to a coroner’s report. However, there is no clear way of determining where the man actually contracted his illness. Tony Spell, the pastor of that church, disputes the coroner’s findings, saying the man died of another medical condition. ‘That is a lie,’ Spell said of the coroner’s findings when reached by phone Thursday. Spell has come under criticism for repeatedly violating an order by Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards that bans gatherings of more than 10 people. Since the governor’s order was put in place last month, Spell has frequently held church services with hundreds of people in attendance. Last month, police filed six misdemeanor charges against Spell, accusing him of violating the governor’s executive order.”
