regarding the Hubbard autopsy report webbed here: http://www.lermanet.com/scientology/l-ron-hubbard-coroners-report-complete.pdf

Here is an excerpt from Vaughn Young, who used to hold Mike Rinder's job as the chief PR Spokesperson in Scientology:

THE CORONER'S REPORT

Now lets back up a tad, before Pat and I spent several days together, going over old times. I went to San Luis Obispo, the county seat for where Hubbard died. It was there that I got the full coroner's report from a very friendly deputy sheriff. I poured over the pages and noticed that something called Vistaril was found in Hubbard's blood. Since the cause of death was a stroke, I assumed it was a stroke medication so I didn't bother further. Several days later, I called a physician friend and was going over the documents and the medical language.

"By the way,? I asked casually, "what's Vistaril?"

"A psychiatric tranquilizer," he answered matter-of-factly.

I nearly dropped the phone.

"Excuse me," I said in near-shock, "but what did you say?"

"Vistaril is a psychiatric tranquilizer, usually injected through the buttocks."

I flipped to the document where the Coroner had examined Hubbard's body. I read it to my friend, about the needle puncture wounds found on the left buttock, under a band-aid. "Could that be the Vistaril shots," I asked.

"Probably," he said. "That's where they are usually given."

I looked at the Coroner's report and the blood sample report.

Holy shit, I said to myself, in my best French. Holy fucking shit.

THE AUTOPSY IS PROHIBITED

I pulled out another document, signed by Hubbard. It prohibited any autopsy of his body on religious grounds, which was legally binding on officials. DM and attorney Earle Cooley had shoved it at the coroner to stop him, leaving him to take only blood samples, which turned up the Vistaril.

So, I thought, L. Ron Hubbard, the man who fought psychiatry since 1950 and who railed against the dangers of any psychiatric drugs had died with them in his brain while signing a new last will.

Plus even the coroner was suspicious of the will as it had been signed by Hubbard just before he died. Coincidences like that tend to make coroner's worry. (I wonder what the coroner would have thought had he known that Denk was gambling at Lake Tahoe when Hubbard had his stroke, as several people can attest. The impression the coroner had was that Denk was "in attendence" with Hubbard not only at death but was there at the stroke, having stayed at the ranch for months. Hmmm....)

I fell back in my chair, trying to catch my breath.

I know it is speculation... but consider.. the blood given to the coroner "for his convenience" for doing the autopsy, by Dr Denk ( another OT who later died of CANCER) (for his convenience were Denks words ) had NO vistaril in them!! Tested negative.

He had how many needle marks in his butt? 12?

DM could have had each of those present give him one shot of vistaril, thus all would have to be silent... tis a capital crime...

The lab test for vistaril ( kudos to Michael Tilse for pointing this out ) only shows positive for trace or better it is not quantitative. There is no test for 'how much" vistaril.

A devious Doctor would know this and tell a devious dwarf.
