Tess Maune,
News On 6 [..] His mom, Shirley Gilliam found the facility online the night before Gabe enrolled.
She says she didn't have time to shop around; her son needed help and he needed it fast. [..]
[..] Gabe wasn't two months into the program when he started feeling sick and complaining about a severe headache.
"The five-hour saunas were too much. He would regurgitate, severe diarrhea, he lost weight while he was there," Gilliam said.
Gabe told his mom his request for pain medication was denied and that he couldn't get in to see the doctor, even though attorney Gary Richardson says the family was told a physician would be on staff 24/7.
"There's no doctor there, taking care of medical needs, like they're leading people to believe there is," Richardson said.
But, Gilliam said her son reassured her he'd be okay.
The next day Gabe was found dead, face down in his bed.
"It's amazing. I just began screaming and screaming, ‘Not Gabriel,'" Gilliam said.
Not knowing what else to do, Gilliam said she went to Narconon leaders, hoping for answers.
"I said, ‘What happened?' ‘Well, we just don't know where he got them.' ‘Got what?' ‘The drugs,'" Gilliam said, recalling her conversation. "I said, ‘Are you telling me he overdosed?'" And he says, ‘We just don't know what happened, where he got them.'"
The medical examiner couldn't determine why Gabe died, but did rule out an overdose.
Gabe was the first of three deaths at Narconon in a nine-month span. [..]
