Love Has Won cult leader Amy Carlson died of natural causes after years of alcohol abuse, opioid use, anorexia and chronic ingestion of colloidal silver, a substance that some believe can boost the body’s immune system, according to an autopsy report prepared by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office.
The report found alcohol, narcotics, marijuana and high levels of sivler in the 45-year-old’s body. Carlson, who was 5-feet-4-inches tall, weighed 75 pounds when she died, the report said.
Carlson’s body was discovered last April in a home near Crestone in Saguache County after one member drove to Salida to tell police there was a dead boy in the house.
Saguache sheriff’s deputies found Carlson’s body in a green sleeping bag and enshrined in Christmas lights.
After Carlson’s body was discovered, seven people were charged in connection with transporting her body to Colorado from California and for allowing two children to stay in the house with the body. The Saguache County district attorney later dismissed the charges.
