Ex cult members die by suicide in California trailing Hale Bopp
In Encinitas two former Heaven's Gate members died by self inflicted means while another survived in a case mirroring the Rancho Santa Fe mass suicide. Wayne Cooke of Las Vegas and Chuck Humphrey of Denver were found unconscious. Humphrey remained in critical condition. Chefutored notes and videos were mailed to networks and friends saying they planned to leave this planet to meet their leader.
