1978: Mass suicide in Jonestown

 

Cult leader Jim Jones and hundreds of his People's Temple followers commit mass suicide in Guyana. Jones, an American pastor, led his followers to South America in 1977 and set up an agricultural commune called Jonestown in remote northwestern Guyana. On November 14, 1978, U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan arrived in Jonestown with a group of journalists to investigate the commune. Four days later, Jones--who some Temple members believed was God--ordered Ryan and his companions ambushed and killed at the airstrip as they attempted to leave. The congressman and four others were murdered. Later that evening, Jones directed his followers in a mass suicide. Hundreds drank a cyanide-laced fruit-flavored concoction in a clearing in Jonestown. Those who tried to escape were chased down by Jones's lieutenants and shot. The final toll was 913 dead, including 276 children. Jones died of a gunshot wound in the head, possibly self-inflicted.
