Scots Killed by Scientology
From EdinburghLulz
There are a very large number of deaths related to Scientology which can be grouped into 4 main categories:
- 1. Suicides due to pressure from Scientology
- 2. Framed suicides (murders made to look like suicide)
- 3. Murder
- 4. Death by lack of treatment or lack of medication due to Scientologys stance against drugs and psychology.
There are also cases like Lisa McPherson's death where a person is kept against their will and starved to death as a result of the Introspection Rundown.
