That’s not super common. Heaven’s Gate type cults get a lot of headlines when they do, but they tend to be the exception.

Most cults either disperse almost immediately when their central leader dies or goes to jail (Onedia cult), or they fail to keep up with the long term turnover and fade away (Shakers).
