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.
Johnson says Alcor used the cans, from a cat that lived on the premises, as pedestals for the heads.
Williams’ head was being transferred from one container to another when the monkey wrench incident took place, Johnson said in the book.
Johnson said that an Alcor employee tried in vain to remove the tuna can.
“Then he grabbed a monkey wrench, heaved a mighty swing, missing the tuna can completely but hitting the head dead center,’ Johnson wrote. “Tiny pieces of frozen head sprayed around the room.”
The next swing, Johnson wrote, knocked the can loose.

As a baseball fan I’m appalled… Teddy Baseball would have hit the tuna can on the first swing — and cleanly.
As a lawyer… that might be a huge lawsuit.
My dark side? well…
Does have the ring of truth about it…cryonics is a sick fraud
So “Alcor Cryonics” is short for Albacore Cryonics”?
The story quoted Alcor as saying that heads crack open as part of the process. Really? That’s normal? So not only do future scientists have to fix whatever killed you, but they also have to know how to put the popcorn back in the kernel?
I would have thought experts in Cryonics would have foreseen metal cans sticking to the frozen head. All that money they rake in and they have to use tuna cans to prop heads up on? Borrowed from a cat nonetheless. They’ll have to find a cure for frostbite too when they thaw these things out.
Imagine the freak who licks one of the heads.
