The 78-year-old King died Tuesday in Rosarito, Mexico, where she was seeking treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. She suffered a heart attack and stroke in August. Medical officials listed her cause of death as respiratory failure.

After she was released by the Mexican government, King's body was flown to Atlanta from California early Wednesday.

New Birth's leader, Bishop Eddie Long, had volunteered his private plane to escort King's children to bring their mother's body back to Atlanta.
