Many had donated almost all their fortune to this campaign or started on their own costly info campaigns to draw attention to the supposed end. There were also murders, suicides and suicide attempts – Camping had a lot to explain, but failed to do so.

On 9th June 2011, Camping suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, with his speech affected by the illness. Two years later, he passed away on 15th December 2013 in Alameda, California, survived by Shirley.
