A couple and three of their children were found dead
at home after taking a lethal cocktail of drugs to escape the impending
doom, Springville, Utah, USA.
The bodies of Benjamin and Kristi Strack and their children were discovered by their oldest son and his girlfriend on September 27 last year. The couple were found in a bed surrounded by the bodies of their children Benson, 14, Emery, 12, and Zion, 11.
To end their lives they used a cocktail of drugs, the mother died of a
combination of drugs and her husband Benjamin died from toxic levels of
heroin.
Both deaths were ruled as suicides while the two youngest children’s deaths were ruled homicides.
There were no signs of a struggle and no suicide notes were found. During investigation it was discovered that it was a common theme for the parents to talk about the apocalypse, the end of days, final judgment.
Their surviving son also confirmed that his mother had made comments
that if things got bad enough she would much rather take herself and her
family out in a comfortable way, rather than a painful way.
Strack’s neighbours and relatives said that the family were worried about “evil in the world” and spoke about “leaving” this world to escape “impending doom”.
