The website for the Heaven's Gate suicide cult is still up, 27 years after they all killed themselves.

https://www.heavensgate.com/

I wonder who’s renewing the domain? I guess I could do an ICANN lookup for registrar info, but I’m lazy.

I saw in a documentary that a few of the cult members were ordered to stay alive to keep the site up. Apparently you can email them and talk to them too.

💀 imagine being told as the IT team for the suicide cult that your job is to tirelessly maintain a site and renew the domain and SSL cert for eternity and provide Q&A
