Lisa McPherson Autopsy & Death Pictures

Magenta · #1 05-10-2009, 10:05 PM

Lisa McPherson was a member of the Church of Scientology who fell ill and died under their care. A medical examiner from the State of Florida conducted an autopsy and initially concluded that she died as a result of negligent homicide.

Forensic entomologists identified over a hundred cockroach feeding sites on her body, and three nationally prominent forensic pathologists opined that the manner of death was "homicide".

Pathologist Werner Spitz, M.D. wrote in his affidavit that "the insect bites appearing in the autopsy photographs of Lisa McPherson, and in particular on her hands and feet, are antemortem and peri-mortem/postmortem."

In other words, bugs were feeding on Lisa before she died, while she was dying and after she had died. Perhaps it is for this reason that they found it necessary to bath a dead Lisa McPherson before they drove her to a hospital 45 minutes away so she could see an emergency room doctor who is a Scientologist, passing four other hospitals.

And in any case, Scientology argues that postmortem cockroach bites are irrelevant, since Lisa could not personally experience the bites and trauma from it.

It appears the Church of Scientology thought she had had a "psychotic break". She had been writing letters to her family prior to her death saying she wanted to go home and wanted to leave The Church. But you can't leave once you're in with that lot. She was in a minor car accident and had started taking her clothes off when paramedics arrived and kept saying she needed help so she was taken to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

It was probably an attempt to get away from The Church. However a few scientologists turned up at the hospital and made her discharge herself. They then took her to a hotel room and kept her strapped to a bed. She was given no food or water for days. Apparently this is how Scientologists deal with "psychotic breaks".
