In
March 1997 the people of the United States were shocked to hear of the largest
mass suicide in the nation's history. Thirty-nine members of the
religious group
Heaven's Gate were found in a California mansion, each dressed in black pants,
black shirt and new athletic shoes, after killing themselves with a mixture
of drugs, alcohol and asphyxiation.
Police were surprised by the obvious lack of trepidation-and, according to videotapes
and letters left behind, even elation-the sect's members experienced as they
prepared to leave this world.
