Le quotidien britannique The Guardian rapporte le décès de Judith Richmond, une fleuriste de 41 ans qui souffrait de trouble bipolaire, et de sa fille Millie, qui souffrait d'«infirmité motrice cérébrale».
Fleuriste d'Élizabeth II, Richmond était scientologue; elle était convaincu que sa fille ne souffrait pas d'un trouble de santé mentale mais d'un empoisonnement au plomb. Elle est décédée en administrant un traitement pseudo-scientifique à sa fille.
La scientologie ne reconnaît pas les problèmes de santé mentale et proscrit par contrat ses membres de choisir des traitements de psychiatrie.
Extrait du rapport du coroner:
“It has not been possible to determine whether Millie died in the bath or the lake. The most obvious assumption is that in trying to assist Millie with one of the experimental treatments by massaging her with oils in the bath somehow Millie drowned and was carried to the lake by her mother who perhaps realised the enormity of the accident which had just occurred and took her own life.
"The second possibility is that they went to the lake together, probably at Mrs Richmond's insistence to get away from the house and the metal and all of those things which she thought to be harmful to Millie.
"Either of those two scenarios is entirely speculative but on the balance of probabilities I think it is more likely than not that Millie died in the bath.”
"I think whatever happened there is no evidence to suggest anything other than an accidental death in relation to Millie."
Le plus tragique dans cette histoire? Si Richmond et sa fille avait consulté un psychiatre ou un médecin, elle serait toutes les deux en vie aujourd'hui.
