Subject: The Cryonics Institute's 84th Patient

The 84th patient of the Cryonics Institute is
Viola Dufault, the grandmother of CI Member
Kevin Boyle. Kevin is well known among CI Members
for the cryopreservation of his dog Thor in
February 2005:

When Viola was placed in liquid nitrogen on Saturday,
September 22 (the day before the Cryonics Institute
Annual General Meeting) the event was witnessed by
cryonics pioneer Curtis Henderson and LONG LIFE Editor
John Bull, among others. Kevin was unable to attend
because of very recent surgery.

A detailed case report for the Cryonics Institute's
84th patient is available on the CI website:
