On September 5 of 2019, Alcor member A-1100 experienced medicolegal death in the absence of any standby and stabilization team despite Suspended Animation, Inc., is contracted with to provide this service. A-1100 had been an Alcor member for 38-years and had contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Alcor in support of having a good local capability near him in Florida. Prior to joining Alcor, he was one of the founding members of the Cryonics Society of Florida and was one of the dwindling numbers of first cohort cryonicists who signed up in the late 1960s and early 1970s. If anyone deserved rapid and comprehensive stabilization it was A-1100. Instead, what he got was no anticoagulation or cerebroprotective medications and, most shockingly, effectively no refrigeration in the interval between cardiac arrest and his arrival at Alcor’s Scottsdale facility after being shipped via air freight from the Miami-Dade airport to Alcor’s facilities in Scottsdale, AZ. His arrival temperature at Alcor was 20 degrees C (68 degrees F) a little below room temperature!
MY COMMENT-- Could have been Ruddel or Tupler.
