Elizabeth Struhs lived and died suffering a deadly disease, but ultimately it was her parents’ dangerous views that ended her life.
For days, as the eight-year-old lay dying, more than a dozen adults — her mother and father among them — prayed and sang songs instead of seeking life-saving medical treatment.
In January 2022, she took her last breath, but they kept singing and praying, waiting for a miracle that would never arrive.
She died from diabetic ketoacidosis, a fatal complication of type 1 diabetes, after her insulin was withdrawn.
On Wednesday, members of the religious group, who call themselves The Saints, were convicted over her death, and will learn their punishments next month.
The verdict came several months after the group faced a lengthy Supreme Court trial held in Brisbane (Australia).
