biography

Quentin Hubbard grew up first in the USA and from 1959 in England.

When L. Ron Hubbard, Jr., the son of L. Ron Hubbard's first marriage, separated from his father and Scientology, the father named Quentin as his successor to head the Scientology organization. From the age of thirteen he was not only a member of the Sea Org , but over the next few years became one of the most highly trained Scientology employees, a so-called Class XII auditor , of which there were only a handful worldwide. As a fourteen year old he was one of the first to be initiated into the central OT III Xenu myth of Scientology.

Quentin did not comply with his father's plans and initially wanted to become a pilot. He tried several times to escape from Scientology ships. In 1974 he told his father that he wanted to become a dancer. A short time later he made his first suicide attempt, which he survived. He was in the Rehabilitation Project Force spent (RPF), a kind of re-education camps of Scientology, where he, among other incommunicado lived.

In 1975 the Sea Org moved its operations ashore, including to Clearwater , Florida and the Los Angeles area. Quentin Hubbard was involved in various activities, but more and more often disappeared without anyone knowing where he was. Quentin went to Nevada three weeks before his death to apply for pilot training in Las Vegas.

Police found Quentin Hubbard on October 28, 1976 near Las Vegas, naked, unconscious in his car parked at the end of the tarmac at McCarren Airport. A hose went from its exhaust through the side window into the interior of the car. The license plates of his car had been removed. Since he had no identification papers with him, he was taken to a hospital as John Doe , where he died after two weeks without having regained consciousness. With the help of the chassis number and an exhaust sticker, the police were finally able to identify the body as Quentin Hubbard. Quentin's missing ID was later found under a rock near the scene of the accident.
