TL;DR Summary

Autopsies have begun on over 100 bodies linked to a Kenyan religious cult whose leader allegedly instructed them to starve themselves to death in order to be the first to go to heaven. One hundred and nine followers of the Good News International Church are known to have died, with authorities recovering 101 bodies from shallow graves since April 21. The deaths amount to one of the worst cult-related tragedies in recent history, and the toll is expected to rise further, with the Kenyan Red Cross saying more than 300 people have been reported missing.
