5 will help settle this here, is "drop the body" the
6 same as "end cycle"?
7 THE WITNESS: Yes.
8 THE COURT: Okay. So you use those terms
9 interchangeably?
10 THE WITNESS: Yes, I did.
11 THE COURT: Right? The way that I understood
12 you had talked about "drop the body" was situations
13 where somebody was terminal ill, they were dying --
14 THE WITNESS: Yes.

24. I have personally witnessed executive
decisions directed to members instructing them to "end cycle",
i.e., die. I have personally read written instructions by Ray Mithoff concerning the following individuals:
... 43. Yet, from the available records, it is apparent to me that these three individuals: Mithoff, Rathbun, and Miscavige, had no option other than to permit her to die in Isolation rather than take her to the hospital for emergency medical treatment and risk embarrassing questions from the attending physicians, press, and authorities with likely claims of imprisonment and abuse being made by Lisa McPherson upon her recovery. This is true because in Scientology it is never an option to be held accountable. Contrary to their own policy that "THE CORRECT ACTION ON AN INSANE PATIENT IS A FULL SEARCHING CLINICAL EXAMINATION BY A COMPETENT MEDICAL DOCTOR." Page 327, Volume 8 of the Technical Bulletins, Scientology decided in Lisa's case, through these three individuals acting through FLAG, not to follow this particular policy and let her die. Scientology provides an option called "end cycle" which is permitting and ordering the person to die. It is obvious to me that the decision was to permit Lisa McPherson to die rather than face an extreme public relations flap by taking her to the local emergency room in her morbid condition as described in the "caretaker logs." |

Affidavit of Martin Ottmann (19 April 1996)
In Scientology the death of a person was described either by "dropping the body" or by "end of cycle", whereby the last term wasn’t used that much.
