The couple was perceived by one ex-member as "withdrawn, haughty, and ill-tempered". Former teachers from France, they had moved to Switzerland to be in closer proximity to the group, before moving to Canada. 63-year-old Suzanne Druau, Chantal's mother, was not a member of the OTS, but was associated with the movement and lived in a way permissible to the group's beliefs; she had moved from France to live with her daughter following the death of her husband. Druau was the only person to have died in the entire series of OTS deaths who was not a member of the group. 615:
not want to die, then proceeded to, again, remove the suicide setup, airing the house out and removing the system; the other adults were mostly asleep at this time. The children proceeded to argue with the adults through the morning, begging them not to die. Didier Quèze told them that their grandmother's death made it so they could no longer turn back, and once again the children's parents asked them again if they would die with them. With some hesitation, all of the children refused. Later in the day, their parents gave them permission to survive as long as they did not interfere with their own deaths. The teens were then drugged and sent to a shed in the garden (where they had placed a bed), but after several hours the fire had failed to start and they returned to the house.
662:, who had written a novel based on the OTS; Fournier called the event a "human tragedy", a demonstration of "remarkable faith" by people who were "screwed", while Delorme described those who died as having been "pushed to the wall", "no longer capable of living the situation". Later coverage was more critical, promoting intervention in religious matters. Anti-cult speaker Yves Casgrain accused the government of having "blood on its hands", and said they had not listened to his warnings. He declared the incident an example of how cults can manipulate their victims, even if the leaders had been dead for years. Mike Kropveld, director of Info-Secte, said the government should be doing more to fight cults. The population of the village expressed their shock at the incident. 529:, 'A third massacre is being prepared in Quebec'. A few days before the killings, Bédat sent a fax warning a former member who lived in Canada to be careful, especially of members Klaus and Didier Quèze. Following the mass suicide, the book, and Bédat's statements discussing the possibility of another massacre, were discussed by several news outlets. According to Delorme, in the weeks leading up to the "transit", Klaus and Didier Quèze often spoke of "travelling". Clément Godin, owner of the only gas station in the area, said that he had seen Didier Quèze fill up his gas cans, and that he seemed well. Godin was also the chief firefighter of the town and would later be one of the first responders. 505:, he spoke publicly to the media warning about how he believed a third massacre by the group was a possibility. He stated: "We really can't rule out that they are preparing a third massacre. The fact that the first and second have left legitimizes their faith, suggests that there is indeed an afterlife as they imagined. How far will these convinced followers go? The worst is still possible..." Klaus was once quoted in this book on the subject of his romantic relationships, telling how he and Friedli had switched wives at Jouret's suggestion. He had previously had telephone contact with Klaus and Didier Quèze, and described them as being "agitators" of the OTS, "if not leaders". 619:

They returned to the shed, taking with them several personal items and "some mementos of their parents". By about half an hour later, at 6 p.m., the house was burning. After a call from a neighbor, firefighters soon arrived, and after the fires diminished an hour later they were able to enter the home. At 7:35 p.m., they discovered four of the burnt bodies in the master bedroom on the second floor, arranged in a crucifix formation.

known the three Quèze children well prior to the incident, as they were friends with his children. He was one of the only people in the village who knew that the Quèzes were former members of the OTS, though he believed they were no longer members. He became their guardian until they returned to France, as they had no family in Canada. In 2012, he stated that many people had offered to pay him for a visit to the house, which he refused, or asked if the house had ghosts. People also visited the house in the years after the deaths, but according to him this eventually ceased.
360:), which was the main reason they had moved to Canada. While Jouret often spoke of the apocalypse, he had predicted that Quebec would be spared; following the earthquake, members of the Sacred Heart commune began to criticize his leadership and his predictions (viewing them as too specific). The farm was also not self-sustaining, and the commune was close to bankruptcy. Following a gun scandal involving Jouret, member Didier Quèze told the media that they were harmless and not a cult; he stated, "In a cult, you're told what to do. Here, you do what you think you should do." 666:

He noted that though it was still the same cult, it was a smaller more isolated affair, a "question of Klaus and his new concubine, of Quèze, his wife and his mother-in-law." In addition to the vernal equinox, he speculated that the timing of the suicides could also have to do with the weekend having experienced a

Their neighbors were unaware of their connection to the group, then notorious, viewing them as "quite normal", though private. The couple's three children were forbidden from joining sports teams by their parents, and according to their classmates could not play with their peers or leave the house. 447:, Klaus was later romantically involved with Jocelyne Friedli, who died in the 1995 transit. He was then partners with Pauline Riou. Pauline Riou was a 54-year-old Canadian nurse; speaking of her, former member Hermann Delorme described Riou as completely "enthralled" with Jouret, saying that she would "tremble when he spoke". She was not a very active member of the group, but was described as a very faithful and obedient one. Klaus, Riou, and the Quèzes were all close friends. 223:, setting their house on fire with them inside. The dead included two couples, and one of their parents. The three children of one of the couples had initially been included in the plans, but after the failure of the previous attempts, convinced their parents that they wanted to live and were let go.

A former police investigator into the OTS claimed that the police had visited the Quèzes several months prior to the deaths, and that during this visit he had begged them not to take the children with them if they did do another transit, and that in response they had " sweet nothings". Hermann Delorme predicted that another suicide would take place on the summer solstice of 1996, though this did not occur. 481:, in the weeks prior the police and Bédat had received several clues that indicated the planning of a third massacre in Quebec. According to Bédat, it was known that there were "still a few fanatics left"; he said he had received what he described as "very specific information" that something would happen near Quebec City.
