 Operation Clambake presents: The Tech Runs its Course - a commentary on the Lisa McPherson case
Lisa McPherson was apparently in some sort of serious 'ethics' trouble either on her job at AMC Publishing, or with the cult itself.

Lisa McPherson, in Scientology for half of her 36 years, was torn between the growing and horrifying realization that the 'tech' didn't really work and her profound loyalty to her group and her cherished hope that it really possessed a route to unbounded freedom, ability and happiness.

According to Lisa's now deceased mother and other family members and friends, Scientologists descended on Lisa's funeral, "checking us out and hovering and listening."

Lisa verkar emellanåt helt förvirrad, pratar i ett men glömmer vad hon nyss sagt, vet inte var hon är, och får plötsliga ilskna utbrott mot kunder och okända.
Det framgår tydligt att Lisa periodvis uppträdde psykotiskt och våldsamt, att hon försökt lämna rummet men hindrades, att hennes fysiska tillstånd gav upphov till oro flera dagar innan hon fördes till sjukhus, och att man försökt tvinga i henne diverse hemmagjorda kurer.

I created this site to preserve the work of the many dedicated people who volunteered hours of their time to transcribing and proofreading the documents collected by the Clearwater Police Department in their investigation into the death of Lisa McPherson during her final days in the custody of the Church of Scientology in Clearwater, Florida.

 Pat Anderson and Her Role in the Lisa McPherson Case
Lisa, a Scientologist, became severely dehydrated and died of thrombo-embolism (blood clot) of her left pulmonary artery while being held against her will at Scientology headquarters
Wood's initial report of autopsy found that the cause of Lisa McPherson's death, of which severe dehydration played a major role, was "undetermined." This finding was not acceptable to Scientology, and they waged a fierce battle to change Dr. Wood's finding to suit their agenda.
It is no coincidence that the same crimes for which Scientology was indicted in the Lisa McPherson case — abuse and neglect of a disabled adult and the illegal practice of medicine — are being repeated against Terri Schindler Schiavo.
