The first person to be given the
Introspection RD, on the ship, in the early 1970s, after being given auditing that addressed evil purposes and introverted him further, was hailed as a success, with Ron depicted as a hero.
The person was promptly and discreetly off loaded and, shortly thereafter, starved himself to death.

"OTs" were dying of cancer and other maladies long before Miscavige came along.

Quentin Hubbard, Class XII, was driven to suicide by his father, 1976

According to L. Ron Hubbard, sexual perverts, including homosexuals, are made by:
Kicking a baby's head in,
running over him with a steamroller,
cutting him in half with a rusty knife,
boiling him in Lysol,
and all the while with crazy people
screaming the most horrifying
and unprintable things at him.
From 'Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health'
"
Hubbard's statement to us was that it's going to take a lot more Ethics and a lot more punishment than anyone can easily face up to, to get this world back in shape." Hana Eltringham

When Hubbard's son, Quentin, after having been RPFed twice by his father, committed suicide in 1976, his death was covered up, and Quentin quickly became invisible, having been Scientologically "erased." There was no memorial service for Quentin. Regarded as an embarrassment, he was officially forgotten.

According to Jesse Prince, from 'The ever changing tech of Scientology':
"...this bulletin was effectively cancelled by LRH himself... that's where it all started. All these actions were taken to increase income. It is the same with the six month sec checks...
"But I want to make it clear that the whole idea came from LRH not from Miscavige. Miscavige is continuing to carry out LRH's orders...
"...Miscavige is doing his best to forward Command Intention, which is contained in the huge LRH orders database of the INCOMM computer system of Scientology..."

Hubbard had told David Mayo to create a level OT 8.
Later, Ray Mithoff was assigned the job.
AFAIK, Hubbard did not tell anyone to create any more OT levels after OT 8. He just left a stack of indecipherable scribble which, he had told Scientologists, in various writings, were the written up OT levels through OT 23.
He lied. They weren't "written up."
It was a mess.
