Church of the Creator: Creed of Hate
The sale of the COTC property was virtually the last
public act by Klassen; for the last six
months of 1992, he limited his contact with supporters to
periodic letters announcing the abrupt
dismissal or sudden elevation of a new member as "Pontifex
Maximus." On August 6, 1993, Klassen
committed suicide by consuming four bottles of sleeping
pills. His body (along with a hand-written
suicide note) was discovered on August 8 by his daughter.
The farewell letter justified his act by
referring to chapter 59 of The White Man's Bible, which
describes suicide as "an honorable and
dignified way to die for any...of a number of reasons, such
as having come to the decision that life is
no longer worthwhile."
