CI Case 239
Cryonics Institute Case Report for Patient Number 239
CI patient #239 was a 76 year old male from Arizona. The patient was a CI member and living in a long-term care facility at the time of his death. The patient did not want to be perfused at the time of his death, and instead wanted to be frozen without cryoprotective solutions being used.
The patient died on January 20, 2023. The patient was promptly cooled and placed in dry ice. There were delays in arranging for transport of the patient, and the patient was maintained in dry ice. Once 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 our facility on February 2, 2023 at 9pm.
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 liquid nitrogen temperature was 25 hours. The patient was then placed in a cryostat for long-term cryonic storage.
