A lot of people are sitting around frozen in cryogenic labs, but I don’t think anyone has ever been successfully thawed. LOL.
“James Hiram Bedford (April 20, 1893 – January 12, 1967) was a University of California psychology professor who wrote several books on occupational counseling. He is the first person whose body was cryopreserved after legal death, and who remains preserved at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.”

For some reason, baseball great Ted Williams had his head frozen at a cryogenic lab. Post mortem, of course. While looking it up just now, I found this:
“The head of Ted Williams was abused by employees at Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., whistleblower says. Workers at an Arizona cryonics facility mutilated the frozen head of baseball legend Ted Williams – even using it for a bizarre batting practice, a new tell-all book claims.”
Bastards. I liked Ted Williams. His head and Bedford’s body are at the same lab, Alcor. Maybe Bedford’s family should check and make sure his head isn’t being used as a basketball.
