Autopsies rule out organ harvesting in Kenya cult deaths

Organ harvesting has been ruled out after autopsies on at least 112 cult victim remains excavated from shallow graves in Kenya's coastal Kilifi district.

Some of the victims, according to government pathologists, died from malnutrition, strangling, and asphyxia.

In their search for members of the cult whose leader, Pastor Paul Mackenzie, reportedly urged them to fast until they died in order to enter paradise, Kenyan police intend to rip open more graves.

Mr. Mackenzie is being held by police while inquiries are being made.

While the authorities claim at least 60 more individuals have been found alive, the Kenyan Red Cross reported that 360 people had gone missing.
