Controversial healing priest Fr. Fernando Suarez collapsed and died while playing tennis at the Ayala Alabang Clubhouse on Tuesday afternoon, his spokesperson confirmed.
Inquirer reported that his spokesperson Deedee Siytangco confirmed the priest’s demise in a phone interview shortly after stepping out of Asian Hospital around 4 p.m. She said the cause of his death is not yet known.
He was supposed to celebrate his 53rd birthday on Friday.
Suarez, a tennis enthusiast, was known around the country for his healing ministry.
He was about to revive his healing ministry after being cleared of a sexual harassment charge last January by the Vatican.
