Ted Williams: Disturbing story

[DBryant88]

NEW YORK -- The New York Daily News is reporting that Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams' severed head was mistreated at an Arizona cryonics facility, according to details from a new book.

In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams' head, which had been severed and frozen for storage, was abused at the facility. Johnson claims a technician took baseball-like swings at Williams' frozen head with a monkey wrench.

Williams, the last player to hit over .400 in a season, died in July 2002 at age 83 and had his remains sent to Alcor for cryogenic storage in the hope that future generations would develop the technology to revive him.

According to the Daily News, Johnson wrote the book while in hiding after becoming a whistleblower in 2003. He held the title of chief operating officer of Alcor for eight months, the newspaper said. He is scheduled for a Tuesday appearance on the ABC news show "Nightline."

Johnson told the Daily News he wired himself during his last three months of employment at Alcor and stole internal records. The book also includes photos of severed heads and procedures performed on bodies.

fucking sick people

This is headed down a bad path.

But this story should be kept on ice until all the facts come out.

I hope the headline doesn't read like a tabloid apart from the body of a story that is very serious.

Ugh! No need to be so cold Jam. Ted Williams was a cool guy, and a great hitter. They said he had ice running through his veins. It's poor form to take shots at the guy now.

[JamStone]

Yea, he was a great hitter. I heard he had a great arm too. Threw the baseball on frozen rope. But I wouldn't stick my neck out for him in this case. I heard he severed ties with a lot of people along the way. In the end, he died a cold, bitter man.

why was a tuna can frozen to his fuckin' head, man ?


NEW YORK - A new book by a former employee of Alcor, the company that froze Ted Williams’ remains, alleges the baseball Hall of Famer’s body was mistreated by the company.

Larry Johnson says in the book “Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death” that he watched an Alcor official swing a monkey wrench at Williams’ frozen severed head to try to remove a tuna can stuck to it. The first swing accidentally struck the head, Johnson contends, and the second knocked the tuna can loose.

I'm sorry but ....lol x lol
