Why are they dead, Scientology ?  Lisa McPherson 1959 - 1995 Deaths in Scientology's Fort Harrison Hotel
Mike wants to offer you a glimpse into his motives why he made this page. One of the reasons is to show a pattern of deceit. To put an end to the lie that Scientology isn't engaged in the healing field, mentally as well as physically. Lisa McPherson (36) Heribert Pfaff (31) Josephus Havenith (45) An autopsy report lists his death as "probable drowning" but notes that his head was not under water. He died in February 1980 at the Scientology Fort Harrison Hotel in a bathtub filled with water so hot it had burned his skin off. Unknown Other Scientology related deaths Noah Antrim Lottick

Quentin Hubbard (22) Life and death of Quentin Hubbard Quentin was
found unkempt with a beard stubble, a state that no one who knew Quentin could
accept. (He was ultra-meticulous in his appearance.) Or that the license plate
of the car was missing and found under a rock some distance away. Or that his
wallet was gone, making identification impossible. Or that a near-empty bottle
of liquor was found, as if he had been drinking, when Quentin did not. Or that
there were needle marks on his arms, when he did not use drugs.

John shot his wife Diane to death at the corner of Fountain Avenue and Catalina

killing his wife, John fled the area. A short while later he took his own
life. Posting by Jesse Prince : Now, it happened one day that a fellow named John Coletto was routed to the RPF forcefully... His wife Diane Coletto was the Commanding Officer, or CO, of the Pubs Org, and she had been instructed to divorce her husband John because he was a "criminal." ... All John Coletto wanted was to be with his wife.

The common denominator among them is that they did not seek medical assistance rapidly, when they first noticed something wrong. The overwhelming belief among Scientologists and Sea Org members was to get audited or continue on with auditing (if they were already receiving auditing) with the conviction that auditing would resolve the cancer.
Two
untimely deaths at Flag Posting by The Exile : It is only a coincident that these two people (Susan J. Johnson & Leslie Platinsky) died on the same day, both of natural causes. But it illustrates a point, Hubbard's medical cures are just so much nonsense, and here are more deaths to prove it.

based on the raid of the Munich org, which occurred on 10 February
1998.

Medical fraud The Anderson
Report - The healing claims of Scientology During 1959-1960, over a period of about five months, one unfortunate man was audited at the Melbourne HASI for more than 200 hours in an endeavour to cure him of cancer from which he was dying and did die. At a time when it was known at the HASI that he had been under medical treatment and was suffering from a malignant growth in his lower abdomen, the HASI quoted him 200 hours' auditing for a stable case gain.

UK 1987 program
Facing South "The Cult Business" Mother blames Scientology for the suicide of her daughter Rita. Rita lived in sussex with her husband, they were both scientologists and like most cult members, strongly opposed psychiatry. But a year ago Rita became severely depressed.
Rita believed the depression was due to an ear-infection and she went to see a specialist... The specialist told the problem was more psychological than physical and that she desperately needed to seek psychiatric help. But Rita refused to see a psychiatrist, she wrote to her mother: " I feel that there is no real help or improvement to be had from psychiatrists, but my turning to them would just be a way to hide from life and problems." Rita committed suicide in March by inhaling car exhaust fumes in a garage. Scientology insists they did not advice here against psychiatric treatment. Today her mother is still fighting to establish that cult dogma did contribute to Rita's death. Doreen Gaul

Unbeknownst to Hubbard, one of their goals was leaving Scientology and setting up a similar organization called the Institute of Mental Health. ... Kennedy died shortly thereafter in a shooting accident. "It is said he shot himself accidentally while cleaning his revolver" stated the Daily Mail on July 14, 1968, "but an open verdict was returned by the coroner." Perhaps Jean was the wife of John. See HCOB 5 June 1961, for a brief commment on "the South African Clear Jean Kennedy" and in HCOIL 4 August 1961 she's mentioned again. Jean Kennedy of Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, wrote to L.

Please someone get a cop." But his plea was too late. With one bullet in his
chest, fired by Russell Johnson, the Reverend was dead. Prologue of "The
Scandal of Scientology" Fisk is mentioned in two FBI files: From the files of the FBI #6 - From the files of the FBI #87 STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. RUSSELL EDWARD JOHNSON, AppellantAbout two weeks prior to the date of the homicide' Fisk telephoned appellant and stated that he wished to see him at the church office. At the interview which followed, Fisk informed appellant that he (Fisk) had had an affair with appellant's wife, both at the church and at appellant's home. Appellant testified that he experienced such a marked physical reaction to this information that he actually fell off his chair. He was profoundly shocked by the candor with which Fisk related his affair with appellant's wife. It is interesting to note that Scientology asked for exemption of a sexual exploitation legislation in Texas, that would forbid counselors to have sex with their patients. Perhaps Scientology feared past and present sexual abuse victims would sue them. American Family Foundation - The Cult Observer Vol. 11 No. 4 1994

back a huge sum to the cult. Until his death, he made regular payments to
Scientology.

think he hanged himself about five years ago ('95/'96) Mats Norryd (cancer) Mats was a very successful Swedish painter and I met him the first time at the Stockholm Org 1971 or 1972. He was the Swedish voice in the tape "Can we ever be friends". He went to Flag for doing NOT's around 1985. While on NOT's he was found to have cancer. When he didn't manage to pay for more auditing he was sent home to die. I don't have any exact datum for his death. Catarina Pamnell has more on this case. A cancer case that I only have a little bit of second-hand information about, but I'll tell you anyway in case you run into it sometime: a Swedish semi-celebrity, painter Mats Norryd who was on OT levels (he was at least OT3, probably higher by this time). First I heard about it in 92-93 or so from a scientologist, who said he had been diagnosed with serious stomach cancer, had gone to Flag, gotten auditing and a vitamin treatment, and become well. Recently I was told by two different people that he had not at all become well, but had been getting more sick and then sent home from Flag to die at home. Source is Yolanda Howell Joy

L.A.) Source has asked to remain anonymous His name was Mark Carlton . He was being audited by Diane [deleted] in Seattle. I dated him while his "symptoms" were occurring. He complained of shaking and hallucinations at which point he was given the MO prescription for cal-mag. He was being audited on his grades. He jumped off the Aurora Bridge in Seattle. I had not seen him for a couple months prior to the suicide and found out about it via the paper. I was very upset that "Diane" had not told me- as she must have known. When I questioned her about his suicide and why it had happened she just said she was sorry. This was in, I believe, 1978. Source is Steven Ellis Please add Natalie Ellis to the list of cancer victims on your "Deaths at Flag" page. Same reason: she didn't get proper medical attention early enough. Natalie Ellis was staff at Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, California. She died of colon cancer on 4/20/1994 at Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. I am her ex-husband. Years later and after the death of Natalie, a sibling posted a message on the Internet via another person. Source is known to jeta@xs4all.nl Casper C and his wife Alice Miller C had both been in the SO. They had met there and started a 2D - but Casper was already married. They were sent to the RPF, Casper received a divorce and he and Alice were married. This happened in the 1990's though I am unsure as to the exact dates. After some time in the RPF, they left the SO and returned to Columbus, Ohio, Alice's home town (Casper was from S africa). They worked to pay off their free loader debt and Casper tried his hand a many different businesses. He was often depressed and couldn't understand why he couldn't make things go right for him and Alice. He and Alice even went to S africa to visit Casper's father (a Scientologist) and try to creat some sort of business, but this failed. Alice at some point developed breast cancer and noticed a lump in her breast, but being a Scientologist she did not immediately seek medical treatment or tell anyone at all (after all, what does it say about a thetan who pulls in cancer!!!!) By the time she finally did seek treatment and tell Casper, her breast lump was huge and basically untreatable. She decided she may not have much time to live, so she broke up with Casper. He was so torn up, he committed suicide in his car (1996). Alice died from her cancer in 1998 while receiving auditing at the Scientology Org in Cincinnati OH. Source is "Michael" in the guestbook I just wanted to add a name to the "Death at Flag" list, and that is Syma Zimmer . She was a supervisor and word clearer in the SHSBC at Flag, and died mysteriously without warning leaving two children behind to be adopted by Sea Org members later. Syma was a tall, friendly, young SO mother whom was well liked within the Academy. 13:09:32 99/07/14 Source has asked to remain anonymous Sheila Harris was my senior when I joined staff at Pubs DK in late 1973. She was an American woman probably in her 30s. She went to GO WW for training to be the AG (Assistant Guardian) for Pubs DK in 1974, and she died of breast cancer in England in 1975 or 1976. Source has asked to remain anonymous Frank Suarez was an OT who committed suicide with a firearm in late 1991 at his home in Broward County, Florida (near Ft.Lauderdale). He left behind a wife and two children, ages around 9 and 10. I couldn't swear to it in a court of law with 100% certainty, but my recollection is that Frank was OT lll, may have once been on staff at the Ft.Lauderdale Mission, was a "public" at the Miami Org, and had gotten auditing at FLAG. He had been in Scientology for several years. An addendum: Executives and I believe a couple of OT's were called to a private meeting at the Miami Org after his death. As you can imagine, Frank's friends were all pretty shocked and upset, and even angry that he would leave a wife and 2 kids to deal with life without a husband and father. The next day, one of the OT's stated that she had "been in contact" with Frank, that he was very happy, was doing well, and that he had done it because his most important goal as a being was to be in the Sea Org, and since he had taken LSD earlier "this lifetime" he couldn't. (You can't join the Sea Org if you've taken LSD or similar drugs "this lifetime".) I didn't believe any of that even when I was still in the cult. This is information I received from several ex-scientology members and is compiled in one report. Mary Garlick Saima Gallop Leigh Crundall (maiden name) "[T]hey" decided that her family should take care of her. Her mother is/was Dawn Crundall , the then FBO AOSHUK. [After a few monts, I] saw a piece in the EG Observer telling how she has hung herself. She'd gone into the library and got out a book on knots, then went to a hardware store and bought some rope and hung herself from the bannister in her home. I cracked up when I read that. This would have been in July/August 1984. Source is Karin Spaink Mark Schaatsbergen left scientology beginning 1988, because he felt they were perverting their own goals and didn't live up to their statements. According to his Mum, Mark's reason to commit suicide end June/begin July 1998, was the enormous amount of pressure the cult exerted on him. His father and sister remain members of the cult. The mother is still devastated. Source is lrngr2447@netzero.net I went to the website again, still don't see Mike McGee (NY Org, about 1975, brain tumor) or any mention if a GO member about the same time, whose VW fell on him in the parking lot of the Hollywood Inn, I believe. He worked on it every weekend. This time, the jack slipped. His mother was a psychic in Mexico who sed she "saw" 2 men messing with the car, and she "knew" he was murdered. Was a big deal (but hushed up) at the time - mother wrote to MSH [Mary Sue Hubbard] and wanted it investigated, the guy's wife had to handle her so she wouldn't sue the churtch, the wife was sec-checked to see if her hubby had told her any confid info. I also seem to remember she lived in the same building where Al Crivello shot himself. I don't remember the name because I didn't know the guy from Mexico. Source has asked to remain anonymous I remember in 1973 or 1974 at AOLA, Bob Borowsky just came back from Flag after completing some latest service and was bragging, "I am one of the three sanest people on the planet." I knew him well. He showed me a brand new 22 caliber gun he had just purchased and said, "This gun will put a bullet in some nigger's head." I couldn't believe he said that especially after all the auditing he just had at Flag. hree days later he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with that gun in his apartment right across the street from AOLA on Bronson Ave. This was especially sad and ironic because his new bride was so excited about starting a family. Another source tells us This was in the mid to late seventies. His name was Bob Borowsky. He was a staff member at New York Org. A supervisor and auditor. He did all of the bridge in New York through dianetics case completion. He was a very calm, at the moment, caring person. He finished his staff contract and went out to L.A. and went from Clear through OTVII. When he returned to Upstate New York where his wife was waiting for him, he loaded a shotgun and stuck it in his mouth and blew his head off. Note by Mike: One Robert Borowsky died in Nov 1977 with SSN 152-28-8309 . Perhaps these are the same persons.
Source is ExScio@aol.com I have another possible listing for your website on "Scientology related deaths". The only problem is that I'm having trouble remembering the name of the individual. Back in the mid-70's at St. Hill in East Grinstead, England the non-SO staff and public largely lived in East Grinstead. To get back and forth to St. Hill you either bought a cheap vehicle, got a ride with someone, or walked/hitchhiked. The walk was several miles from town and there were two potential routes. Both were treacherous in spots as there were hills in some places right next to the road so there was only a one or two foot clearance between the hill and the white line on the side of the road. There was also a 90 degree turn at one of these spots connecting the road from St. Hill with the road to town. It was especially bad if you had to walk home at night when there was no moon. This situation lead to the death of an Israeli public who was walking one day in this situation (daytime I think, but I'm not sure). He was struck by a car and, if I remember correctly, he died of a head injury. This accident occured in 1976 or 1977. Motty Arnstein is the name that comes to mind, but I'm not sure if that is the right person. I may be thinking of someone else from the same region. Sorry I can't be clearer on the details, but it was a long time ago. I note that they now have bus service from East Grinstead to the Hill which is probably partly a result of this incident (& possibly others?) and the continuing hazard to those attempting the walk.
