Theresa Duncan was found dead on July 10, 2007; suicide is suspected, but no official cause of death has been confirmed. It is reported she overdosed on Tylenol PM and bourbon.
In February 2007, the couple moved from Los Angeles to New York City, where Blake had a job at Rockstar Games. On July 10, 2007, Blake found Duncan dead, apparently by suicide. On July 17, 2007, Blake was reported missing off New York's Rockaway Beach. According to news accounts,
a woman called 911 to report that she saw a man swimming out to sea. Blake's clothes and wallet were reportedly found under the boardwalk at Rockaway's 122nd Street Beach,
along with a suicide note that referred to Duncan.
On the morning of Sunday, July 22, 2007, a body thought to be that of Jeremy Blake was discovered 4.5 miles off the coast of Sea Girt, New Jersey (which is 35 miles south of Rockaway Beach).
Police announced on July 31, 2007 that they had identified his body.
According to friends and family of the couple along with various news reports, Jeremy Blake and Theresa Duncan believed that they were being
followed and harassed by Scientologists up to the time of their deaths. Blake also included his allegations of harassment by Scientologists and others in a 27-page "chronicle" he prepared for a lawsuit he planned to file.
