No, he was not suspended. Many members on this list can advise you where
to find reference information on this. Check the Cryonet archives in May
1996 for starters.

There are now TWO movies about Tim Leary's death. I saw the premier of
the second movie at the Mind States Conference the week before
Thanksgiving. It consists of some clips of Tim during the last few weeks
of his life and a lot of clips of various people who were associated
with him in one way or another. This movie covers cryonics only briefly
with a negative spin. It is also totally boring.
