Beck Still Puzzled About Budding Director's Death.... Rocker Beck is still trying to make sense of the deaths of two acquaintances that have been linked to his Church of Scientology faith.Theresa Duncan died of a drug overdose in July 2007 after telling friends she feared Scientologists were stalking her for trying to help Beck escape from the Church.Her grief-stricken fiance Jeremy Blake committed suicide a week later. Beck maintains he knew Blake socially but only knew Duncan through a film script she handed him, about a Scientologist rocker. She hoped to direct the movie with Beck as her star.The Loser hitmaker tells Spin magazine, "I knew Jeremy briefly... I saw him maybe four or five times socially. I didn't really know him well."But before her death, Duncan insisted Beck had been inspired by her film script and confided in her that he wanted to leave the Church of Scientology - claims Beck denies.He adds, "He (Blake) was a friend, and so I read the thing (script) and liked it.
