Unfortunately, the Olive shitshow is already over. The church announced today that they're giving up on the resurrection.

It was a wild ride that went on for 6 days. R/fundiesnark covered it pretty heavily and there's a lot of posts about it there from the past week. For those wondering why the parents thought their kid was special enough to be the first person raised from the dead since Jesus, it's because a) the parents are musicians at their megachurch and are a big deal in that community, thus their kid's death was a big deal too, and b) their church, Bethel, is batshit fucking insane. These people are heavily into faith healing and prophecies, and they believe they can perform Jesus-tier miracles if they pray hard enough. I can't begin to cover the full scope of the insanity of that church, but here's an article that's a good place to start (unfortunately it's from Buzzfeed):

And for the record, I completely agree that the kid's death is suspicious as hell and should be looked into. However I don't have a source right now, but I think i recall seeing a post about how the coroner's office performed an autopsy and didn't find anything suspicious. I'm looking for the post now.
