A corpse believed to be that of a leader of a controversial religious group was found mummified in a sleeping bag, wrapped in Christmas lights and with glitter missing around its missing eyes.<\/p>\n
They are believed to belong to Amy Carlson, 45, known to her followers in the US state of Colorado as 'Mother God'.<\/p>\n
She was a self-proclaimed 'divine being' from the group Love Has Won. It has been branded by law enforcement and followers as a "cult", the Daily Beast reports.<\/p>\n
The investigation into the corpse led to the arrest of seven members of the group on various charges, including child abuse and abuse of a corpse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No one has yet been charged.<\/p>\n
The Saguache County Sheriff's office found the body last week after receiving a tip from a suspected member of the group, Miguel Lamboy. <\/p>\n
The affidavit said that Mr Lamboy said: "It was obvious that Ms Carlson was dead because her eyes were missing. <\/p>\n
"Mr Lamboy stated that the body appeared to be mummified with Ms Carlson's teeth exposed through the lips." <\/p>\n
The body was found in the group's headquarters, a mobile home, in rural Saguache County. It is said to have appeared to have glitter makeup around the eyes. <\/p>\n
It is suspected that the eyes were missing due to the decomposition of the body, with officials believing she has been dead for weeks. <\/p>\n
The official identity of the corpse has not been confirmed as her body was too decomposed to be verified via fingerprints. <\/p>\n
