CI Case 277

Cryonics Institute Case Report for Patient Number 277

CI patient #277 was an 83 year old male from California. The patient was not a CI member at the time of his death.

The patient died on September 29, 2025.  Because the patient was not a member of CI, the patient was required to be taken to a local funeral home and kept in dry ice.  Once the next of kin signed a contract, provided funding and the details for transit were in place, the patient was transported to Detroit Metro Airport, where he was picked up and brought to the facility.  The patient arrived at the CI facility on October 16, 2025.

The patient was then transferred to the computer controlled cooling chamber to cool to liquid nitrogen temperature.  The human dry ice program was selected and the time needed to cool the patient to -196c was 25 hours.  The patient was then placed in a cryostat for long-term cryonic storage.
