On March 26, 1997, deputies of the San Diego County Sheriff's Office discovered the bodies of the 39 active members of the group, including Applewhite, in a house in the San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe. They had participated in a coordinated series of ritual suicides, coinciding with the closest approach of Comet Hale–Bopp.

Just before the mass suicide, the group's website was updated with the message: "Hale–Bopp brings closure to Heaven's Gate ...our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion – 'graduation' from the Human Evolutionary Level. We are happily prepared to leave 'this world' and go with Ti's crew."

their website is still up heavensgate.com

reading the wiki I wonder if sarah was inspired by the cult's first follower

from the cult wiki

The Two would gain their first follower in May 1974: Sharon Morgan, who abandoned her children to join them. A month later, Morgan left The Two and returned to her family.

from starfield wiki

Sarah mentions that her parents considered themselves Enlightened, but due to their lives being busy, they never had time to pursue their beliefs. Sarah says that by the time she was old enough, the idea of following any kind of organized religion seemed like an afterthought to her and was not important, saying that her mind was often at odds with her spiritual side. While Sarah was in high school, she and some of her friends were in a rock band. She makes sure to explain that she did not mean a school band, but a group called "Ironic Comet"
