909 People's Temple members died in Jonestown on November 18, 1978. Although this event is widely thought of as a mass suicide, only approximately half of the people who died there drank the cyanide-laced Kool-Aid willingly. The rest of those died were elderly or children to whom other members administered the poison. Jim Jones himself did not drink the Kool-Aid, nor did he even take his own life. He had a Temple member shoot him in the head.
