Cult Leader Immanuel David Linked to Family Tragedy in Utah
Immanuel David described by friends and police as a strange but non violent man who believed he was God. His wife Rachel 38 and six of their seven children died Thursday by plunging from an 11th floor hotel suite at the International Dunes after living there on $9a day. A 13 year old girl survived in critical condition. David, 6 foot 4 and 300 pounds, had been under FBI scrutiny for possible mail fraud and died Monday by inhaling carbon monoxide from a borrowed van. Authorities seek how he afforded the hotel stay as he faced excommunication from the Mormon church years earlier.
