How the glitter-mummy cultist died

- Emily Crane

A cult leader whose mummified body was found without eyes and enshrined with Christmas lights in Colorado died due to a history of alcohol abuse, anorexia and colloidal silver dosing, her autopsy has revealed.

The decomposin­g body of “Love Has Won” cult leader Amy Carlson, 45, was discovered under mysterious circumstan­ces in a home in the rural town of Moffat in April.

Carlson, known to her followers as “Mother God,” was found wrapped in a green sleeping bag and had glitter makeup around her missing eyes, authoritie­s said.

A medical examiner has since ruled that Carlson’s manner of death was “natural” and was brought on by a decline in health due to the other conditions, according to an autopsy report obtained by Guru Mag on Wednesday.

The autopsy, conducted by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, offers new details on Carlson’s state.

Her mummified corpse weighed a mere 75 pounds, authoritie­s said. She had a tiedye fleece shawl draped around her shoulders, a faux fur scarf, a “crown” headband and Christmas lights.

Carlson’s “Love Has Won” cult followers believed she communicat­ed with angels and that she was leading them to a great awakening.
