With the exception of their 19-year-old son (who, along with his grandmother, discovered his parents and siblings dead), the entire Strack family -- pictured above--was wiped out in a single incident back in September.
Recently, the Utah State Medical Examiner released his final report.
-The children Emery, 12, and Zion, 11, all died of a lethal cocktail of diphenhydramine and methadone. Homicide.
-The death of 14-year-old Benson, who also drank the same lethal cocktail and left a goodbye letter to a friend prior to his death, was listed as "undetermined" because it's not clear if he was able to consent to suicide.
-The mother, Kristi Strack, died of a combination of those drugs plus dextrophan and doxylamine. Suicide.
-The father, Benjamin Strack, died from toxic levels of heroin. Suicide.
The parents had a history of drug use. The couple reportedly wanted to escape the evil in the world and feared the apocalypse. They'd also befriended and visited a man who murdered two family members back in 2008.
