Son of Obama faith adviser dies in apparent suicide
Isaac Hunter, the son of megachurch pastor and Obama spiritual counselor Joel Hunter, was found dead December 10 in an apparent suicide, police say.
Isaac Hunter, 36, father of three, had resigned from his own Florida megachurch after he admitted that he had engaged in an affair with a staff member. His wife of 13 years had filed a domestic-violence petition against Hunter, describing him as unstable, erratic and suicidal, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Responding to a call from Hunter’s brother, who had received a text message speaking of suicide, police found Isaac Hunter dead from a gunshot wound, said Officer Rob Pelton, spokesman for the Altamonte Springs police department. Police were investigating the death as a suicide.
