Over the last several months, Lamb and his network have pushed COVID misinformation and anti-vaccine messaging as the coronavirus ravaged states across the country. Some individuals who have made guest appearances on the network have also promoted unproven drugs as forms of treatment for COVID-19.

During a segment of "Ministry Now," Lamb's wife, Loni, detailed his bout with "COVID pneumonia" after catching the virus. She also noted that her husband had pre-existing conditions. “He never talked about that,” she said. “He had diabetes, but he kept it in check. He was very healthy.”

She also insisted that she and her husband had followed “'many of the protocols talked about here on Daystar' to treat him and that he '100% believed in everything we’ve talked about here on Daystar,'” HuffPost reports.

Lamb's death comes less than two weeks after his son Jonathan Lamb spoke about his condition saying, "There’s no doubt in my mind that this is a spiritual attack from the enemy.”

He added, "As much as my parents have gone on here to kind of inform everyone about everything going on to the pandemic and some of the ways to treat COVID — there’s no doubt that the enemy is not happy about that. And he’s doing everything he can to take down my dad.”
