Noah's father Edward Lottick , MD, in The Cult Observer March 1993
On May 11, 1990, Noah Antrim Lottick, our wonderful 24-year-old son, committed suicide. A brief account of Noah's death was featured prominently in the May 6, 1991, Time magazine article, "Scientology-The Cult of Greed," and again in the October 1991 Readers Digest article, "A Dangerous Cult Goes Mainstream." My wife and I cooperated with these magazines, whose circulation is over 100 million readers worldwide, in an effort to alert others to potential dangers.
The Lotticks lost their son, Noah, who jumped from a New York City hotel clutching $171, vitually the only money he had not yet turned over to Scientology. His parents blame the church and would like to sue but are frightened by the organization's reputation for ruthlessness. Picture Giorgio Palmisa for Time
Scientology: The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power
Time Magazine May 6, 1991
This young Russian-studies scholar had jumped from a 10th-floor window of the Milford Plaza Hotel and bounced off the hood of a stretch limousine. When the police arrived, his fingers were still clutching $171 in cash, virtually the only money he hadn't turned over to the Church of Scientology, the self-help "philosophy" group he had discovered just seven months earlier.

We finally found Noah 31 days after his death in the morgue of New York City - the very day his remains were to go to potter's field where we never would have found him or even surely known that he was dead.
