Mary Ann Bader, a State Department spokeswoman, said that there are 80 known survvivors, two of whom have been charged by Guyanese authorities. An unspecified number of survivors, she said, are under house arrest by Guyanese authorities and have been ordered to remain in Guyana for questioning.

The State Department provided this numerical breakdown of the 80 survivors:

  • Forty-five residents of the temple's headquarters in Georgetown, 150 miles from Jonestown, who were in Georgetown at the time of the deaths.
  • Nineteen survivors of the ambush at the Port Kaituma airstrip, where Ryan, NBC newsman Don Harris and Robert Brown, San Francisco Examiner photographer Gregory Robinson and temple defector Patricia Parks were slain.
  • Fourteen more who survived, escaped or were not present during the mass death ritual at Jonestown.
  • Two cultists who were aboard a fishing boat named the "Cudjoe."
