John Travolta says Scientology could have saved Anna Nicole Smith.
The actor insists the late Playboy Playmate may still be alive if she had
checked into the controversial Scientology drug and detox programme
Narconon.
John, who worked with Anna Nicole on 'Be Cool', said: "It's so sad. We could
have helped her with Narconon but didn't get the chance to. I wish we had."
Narconon has been widely criticised for its unorthodox methods which are
inspired by the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
The treatment includes taking large doses of vitamins, an intensive running
programme, and long sauna sessions which "run out" drugs and "radiation"
from the body.
Scientologists insist Narconon is 85 per cent effective, but it has been
alleged the method has been used to convert vulnerable drug addicts to the
bizarre sci-fi cult.
A toxicology report from Anna Nicole's autopsy is yet to be released.
The model-and-actress died on February 8, after being found unconscious in
Hollywood's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Methadone and prescription drugs were found in her hotel room.
