The death tape or Q042, is the final tape recorded by Jim Jones before the mass suicide of the residents of Jonestown in Guyana, 1978. This recording includes Jones urging the members of the Jonestown community to come forward to receive the poison - first for their children, then for themselves - as Jones describes the horrors of what would await those who did not commit what he described as "revolutionary suicide".
