phenobarbital and alcohol, placed in containers of pudding and applesauce.

THEY DID IT GROUPS OF THREE, SOME CLEANING UP AFTER OTHERS.
And there were farewell tapes, messages from the group's leader...
... and followers, looking forward to leaving their bodies for some higher

All of this perhaps timed to coincide with the hale-bopp comet which cult
