It is not likely that there is a written record of what this lovely but tragic young woman went through in the last months of her life.
And, if they didn't have her PC and ETHICS folders already "sterilized" (OSA keeping the nasty bits away from staff in a vault or otherwise hidden), they certainly (by now) have tried to remove any evidence. What comes to mind is Marty Rathbun's order to "Lose it!" when Scn execs brought to his attention that there was very damaging evidence in the logbooks that Lisa McPherson's "handlers" were studiously keeping.
There is no evidence of the cult's direct or even indirect involvement in her suicide, but that's what investigations are for.
If I am speculating, my thoughts wander to trying to think of what would push a person to kill themselves. I can only imagine (assuming for a moment that the cult wasn't involved) that the cumulative setbacks & losses reached an critical mass that was overwhelming--and hopelessness drowned whatever spark remained. I have no idea about what happened, but (again speculating), there seems to be some rather devastating events in the weeks just before she died.
I read (if it is to be believed) that just recently her mother said some awful things to her about being a loser.
I read (if it is to be believed) that just recently Jim Carrey, the love of her life, broke up with her.
I read (if it is to be believed) that she was on the Survival Rundown at Celebrity Center but "off course/auditing" because she was "bogged".
Having worked at missions, orgs and major Sea Org bases, there are certain things that would be uniformly true:
* Having had a psych history, she would be an "ILLEGAL PC"
* Having a major celebrity boyfriend, she would be directly handled by senior execs, OSA and special CC Int project orders, written just for her.
* Having someone onlines that was connected to a public critic of Scientology (again, Jim Carrey) who openly "joked & degraded" about Hubbard and Scn, she would be labeled PTS.
* If her usefulness to Scientology ended by reason of Jim Carrey breaking up with her, her shadowy "handlers" behind the curtains would revise her program. Either to "handle" Jim and get back together with him. Or, if she was unable to re-establish the relationship, they would immediately recognize that she is of no value to the cult (i.e. no money, no fame, no celebrity power) and she is, instead, a huge liability to the org (see next bullet point).
* The liability that OSA would start to eliminate was that she was an illegal PC onlines, connected to a raving SP (Carrey). They would r-factor her that she is an illegal PC and, as such, could not get auditing or ever go Clear or do OT levels.
Sure, it's all speculation, but I have seen these things before, they are not the least unusual and, in fact, that is how "POLICY" would run her program. All of the policies on "PTS" and "ILLEGAL" would be temporarily waived for a rich person or a celebrity (which includes people in a major celebrity's entourage).
If she was fighting depression and her mother came down hard on her, that would have not helped and likely made things much worse.
If she was fighting depression and Jim Carrey broke up with her, that alone could have sent her to the edge.
If she was teetering on the edge and the Church of Scientology (perhaps her only hope and life-ring in an ocean of troubles) then turned its back on her and said she is "Illegal" and not able to get any help (auditing), I can imagine that she was pushed over that precarious edge.
That's my speculation and imagination and perhaps "instincts" of what likely happened.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be the least surprised to find out in some distant future that COB simply wanted her dead as a way to take revenge on critic Jim Carrey. That's the exact kind of thing that Hubbard did with critics and he even writes about his dark pathological need to exact revenge in policies (".....always even the score.")
I would also imagine that if not for Scientology, she would have been receiving help from a mental health care professional and very likely on prescriptive medication to level out her moods and depression. Would that have helped? Perhaps.
But, with Scientology in the mix, it could never have ended well. They don't have anything good for the mentally ill. They even say (in their policies) that they don't treat or accept the mentally ill for services. But they also (see "Hubbard Law of Commotion") also have other polices and programs that try to legislate against psychiatrists and psychologists treating the mentally ill. Meaning.....
SCIENTOLOGY DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO TREAT THE MENTALLY ILL. EXCEPT THEMSELVES. BUT THEY HAVE POLICIES AGAINST TREATING THE MENTALLY ILL, MEANING THAT NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO TREAT OR HELP THE MENTALLY ILL. EXCEPT WHEN SCIENTOLOGY CAN MAKE MONEY OR GAIN POWER (VIA CELEBRITIES) FROM TREATING THE MENTALLY ILL.
Because of the severity of Scientology's own mental illness (see bold section in paragraph above) the cult's influence on the mentally ill is to push them further into insanity.
I think I'll end my rant here.
ps: Have I mentioned recently that Scientology (the modern science of mental health) is severely mentally ill?
