I wonder how much influence his attorney - an enthusiastic proponent of the teachings of the "Church of Scientology" (which has taken over almost the whole downtown of Clearwater, Fl. and Pinellas county) had over Michael's thinking in matters of death and dying.
So many Clearwater professional people, trades people and business owners (and employees) are dependent for a large portion of their income on the sheer numbers and overwhelming presence of the Scientologists who have flooded this small city.
I know, I live 15 minutes from Clearwater and have friends who have lived there for decades.
