Jack Parsons: The Shagavara of Occultism

Many of Jack's colleagues refused to believe that his death was an accident, and speculated that the explosion must have come from underneath the floorboards. Police entertained this idea, but they insisted that Jack had been known to store chemicals in a way that was criminally negligent. Some members of the OTO believed Jack had actually killed himself. Others who knew him theorized that Howard Hughes had assassinated Jack, still believing that he'd stolen documents for the Israelis. Nobody knows for sure what really happened, but no one can argue that Jack Parsons didn't lead an extraordinary life.
