An Alabama preacher and politician killed himself Friday two days after being outed for having a secret life he shared onlineas a “transgender curvy girl.”

F.L. “Bubba” Copeland, who was the mayor of tiny Smiths Station, with a population of just 6,756, as well as the pastor at First Baptist Church in nearby Phenix City, shot himself around 5 p.m. in front of sheriffs who were following him.
