{{dablink|This article is about the religious leader; for other people named Jim Jones, see [[Jim Jones (disambiguation)]].}}
'''James Warren "Jim" Jones''' ([[May 13]], [[1931]] – [[November 18]], [[1978]]) was the [[USA|American]] founder of the [[Peoples Temple]] church that developed into a group with [[cult]]-like beliefs, power structures and practices. On [[November 18]], [[1978]], most Peoples Temple members followed Jones' advice to commit [[mass suicide]] by drinking poison in their isolated agricultural [[intentional community]] called [[Jonestown]], located in the jungle of [[Guyana]]. Jones was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head among the 914 corpses there.
