(CNN) Harold Camping, the leader of the apocalyptic movement that predicted the end of the world would begin on May 21, has suffered a stroke, an employee at his radio ministry said Monday.
Camping suffered a “mild stroke,” last Thursday, said an operator at Family Radio, Camping's California-based broadcast ministry.
“He’s presently recuperating in a local hospital and doctors are pleased with his progress,” said the operator, who would not give her name.
“This was all we were told to tell everyone,” said the operator, who said she and Family Radio’s other operators came to work Monday morning to find a short statement from the Camping family on their desks.
