The first person ‘frozen’ on purpose

January 12, 1967
Dr. James Bedford (a psychology professor at the University of California) became the first person to ever be cryogenically preserved with the intent of being resuscitated in the future.

Dr. Bedford remains were switched to a different tank in 1991 and it would appear that everything has held up thus far. (Remember though, as much as you want it to be true – Disney is not a Popiscle inside Cinderella’s castle.)

And so it goes
