He disagreed with his father"s plans, sometimes saying that he wanted to be a pilot, and in 1974 that he would like to be a dancer.
He died at the age of 22 in an apparent suicide. Quentin went to sea with Ron when he established the Sea Organization, living on the flagship Apollo and reaching the highest level of auditor training. Soon after this, a friend found him in the midst of a suicide attempt.
Quentin survived this attempt and was assigned to the Rehabilitation Project Force.
Quentin is described as having had a gentle demeanor, with none of his father"s bombast. In 1975 the Sea Organization(s) moved to shore in Clearwater, Florida.
Quentin was assigned to operations there but was often absent. Police discovered him unconscious in his car in Las Vegas on October 28, 1976, without any identifying documents.
L. was furious at the news, shouting, "That stupid fucking kid! Look what he"s done to me!" Quentin died two weeks later without having regained consciousness.
Although there had been a hose from the car"s window to the tailpipe, a test for carbon monoxide was negative. L. is said to have deteriorated rapidly after Quentin"s death, becoming dishevelled and increasingly paranoid.
