Kenyan Cult Members Autopsied After Starvation Deaths

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 to be the first to go to heaven. The bodies were recovered from shallow graves in the Shakahola Forest, with children accounting for most of them. The autopsies will look at all possibilities, including whether some bodies had missing organs. The deaths amount to one of the worst cult-related tragedies in recent history, and the toll is expected to rise further with over 300 people reported missing. President William Ruto has promised to appoint a judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the incident.
