Love Has Won cult leader Amy Carlson’s cause of death, explained

Love Has Won cult leader Amy Carlson’s strange death garnered critical attention to the group’s activities in 2021. Authorities found her mummified and decomposing body with the eyes missing in April of that year, per the New York Post. Her body was enshrined with Christmas lights and was wrapped in a green sleeping bag and also had makeup on. She was also wearing a colorful fleece shawl, two pairs of fluffy socks, and a crown headband on her head. 

After an autopsy, a medical examiner confirmed that Carlson died of natural causes due to a history of alcohol abuse, anorexia, and colloidal silver dosing. Moreover, the corpse weighed only 75 pounds at the time of autopsy. Reportedly, she ingested colloidal silver every day believing that the substance had healing properties, reported Mamamia.

The outlet reported that the 45-year-old’s body was surrounded by eight small brown bottles with “colloidal” labels on them. Her face had foundation, blush, and “glitter eyeshadow.” Authorities found the body only when a follower alerted them of the cult leader’s death after returning home from a trip to Denver.

According to CBS News, police arrested seven followers and each one is facing charges of abuse of a corpse, among other changes. These individuals were Ryan Kramer, Christopher Royer, Sarah Rudolph, Karin Raymond, Jason Castillo, John Robertson, and Obdulia Franco.
