NB - the article in the Argus totally fails to mention that Russell Dienes was also a Scientologist. (Why?)
Aged 17, the year he died:
About five years prior to that, in 1992:
Wasn't Russell Dienes a member of the Sea Org himself? Given his background, it seems odd that he wasn't a Sea Org Cadet himself.
Apparently this is from the East Grinstead Observer:
Did anyone know Russell? Typically, how much sleep to Sea Org people his age get? (Sea Org people are basically slaves, right?)
Don't Sea Org cadets have really strict schedules? What on earth were they doing out, having fun?
<an aside> Why did/does Greenfields School attract so many German Scientologists? There seem to be loads of German expats, all clams, who send their kids there. .
- happened in 1997
- All three were indoctrinated at Greenfields School
- The driver, Russell Dienes, died
- Other two lads got £3.5 million - around 2003. Really hope this went towards their medical bills, not Scientology 'donations'

Russell Dienes in 1992, at Greenfield School, the UK East Grinstead school that produces Sea Orgers

Apparently this is from the East Grinstead Observer:
A SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD East Grinstead teenager died when the car he was driving was involved in a collision with a lorry on the A22.
Russell Dienes was rushed to Eastbourne hospital by helicopter on Thursday where he was found to have suffered severe injuries and was put on a life support machine.
He was pronounced dead at 4:15 pm on Friday. His father Robert and mother Jasmine were at his bedside, along with other members of the family and friends.
Russell, a member of staff at the Church of Scientology, was on his way to the group's Saint Hill headquarters when the tragedy happened.
Also in the car were four other Scientology staff aged between 16 and 20.
Two are still in hospital, suffering from head and abdominal injuries.
But they are in a stable condition and "improving daily" according to the Scientology public affairs director, Graeme Wilson.
The two others have been released from hospital after treatment for minor cuts and bruises. The lorry driver was unhurt.
Mr Wilson said this week: "This is a tragic accident and we are doing everything possible to help those injured and their families.
"Scientology ministers are with the two hospitalised church members 24 hours a day, using spiritual counselling concurrent to the medical treatment they are receiving.
" And, as per doctor's reports, both are making very good progress."
He said everyone's thoughts were very much with Russell Dienes' family, who were being comforted by Scientology ministers.
A private funeral service will be held later this week
