TMZ posted a photo on Friday showing Lewis shaking hands at smiling for the camera at a Narconon event in Orange County, Calif., in 2004.

TMZ also reported that Lewis had not been involved with Scientology for the past few years. His father, actor Michael Lewis, had risen through the ranks of the church and co-penned a film with founder L. Ron Hubbard about the practice of Dianetics, created by Hubbard, which involves the process of auditing.

Lewis, 28, was discovered on Wednesday in the driveway of a Los Feliz, Calif., home that contained the body of his battered landlady, Catherine Davis. The actor -- who had a history of arrests for violent crimes -- has been implicated in her death, and investigators believe he fell from the roof of the home while under the influence of drugs.
