Failing Elizabeth: Documentary into the death of Elizabeth Struhs

The Saints, believed in divine or miraculous healing – that is the power of God to heal illness and disease. It cost Elizabeth Struhs her life.

The parents of a young Queensland girl and 12 members of an extreme Christian sect have been found guilty of manslaughter after she was left to die.

In unseen police interviews, her father Jason Struhs said he was “happy” for his daughter Elizabeth, 8, after she’d died.

Elizabeth had her whole life in front of her when she was denied life saving insulin and suffered a painful death on January 8, 2022.

The religious group, The Saints, believed in divine or miraculous healing – that is the power of God to heal illness and disease.

They were praying and singing for Elizabeth’s literal resurrection as the Toowoomba girl lay motionless. A simple dose of insulin would have saved her life.

About 36 hours after Elizabeth predictably failed to rise, her father Jason Struhs called triple-zero to report his daughter had died in her sleep.

Jason and the group’s leader Brendan Stevens were charged with her murder, but were found not guilty in court this week. They were instead found guilty of manslaughter.
