X-Message-Number: 24986 From: "Joe Waynick" <> Subject: Alcor Preservation #67 Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 16:41:16 -0700 Alcor Life Extension Foundation performed the cryopreservation of a Florida man, (identified here as A-1099), on November 2, 2004. This was another difficult case because after the deanimation of A-1099 his relatives had him embalmed and attempted to have him cremated. Fortunately, an alert estate attorney for the member contacted Alcor within 24 hours of his pronouncement, and Alcor personnel were able to track him down and prevent his cremation just hours before it was to take place. The patient was packed in dry ice by a friendly mortuary and shipped to Alcor where he was cryopreserved. This brings the total number of patients to 67. A more detailed Case Report and a full explanation of the circumstances surrounding this patient will be published in an upcoming issue of Cryonics Magazine and subsequently posted on the Alcor website. --Joe Waynick, CEO/President Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24986
