Subject: CI's 71st patient is now cooling

        The 71st patient of the Cryonics Institute deanimated 
yesterday in Nevada. His name is John Connole and he has been a 
Member of CI since 1991. John was at one time our Contracts Officer
(the person who verifies that Member contracts are completed 
properly -- a position now held by Connie Ettinger).  John worked
in the Aerospace Industry before he retired. He was 84 years old
at the time of his deanimation.  His condition has been critical for
the last few months. Last week we were told he would last 5-10
days and his wife phone two days ago to say that he would 
probably not last more than a day.  He was given heparin, some 
CPR and ice was packed around his head immediately after 
a speedy pronouncement of death. He deanimated about noon yesterday 
and we began our work on him at our funeral directors at 9am this morning.

   More details will appear in THE IMMORTALIST. 

                   -- Ben Best, President, Cryonics Institute
