Baseball Player Ted Williams's Body Decapitated

NEW YORK - Ted Williams was decapitated by surgeons at the cryonics company where his body is suspended in liquid nitrogen, and several samples of his DNA are missing, Sports Illustrated reported.

The magazine's report, appearing in the issue that hits newsstands Wednesday, is based on internal documents, e-mails, photographs and tape recordings supplied by a former employee of Alcor Life Extension Foundation.

After Williams died July 5, 2002, his body was taken by private jet to the company in Scottsdale, Ariz. There, Williams' body was separated from his head in a procedure called neuroseparation, according to the magazine.

The operation was completed and Williams' head and body were preserved separately. The head is stored in a steel can filled with liquid nitrogen. It has been shaved, drilled with holes and accidentally cracked 10 times, the magazine said. Williams' body stands upright in a 9-foot tall cylindrical steel tank, also filled with liquid nitrogen.

The procedure, approved by Williams' son, John Henry, and daughter, Claudia, carries a $136,000 bill. Alcor claims it is still owed $111,000.

The magazine said that according to a taped conversation between former Alcor chief operating officer Larry Johnson and a board adviser, eight DNA samples among 182 taken from Williams are missing without explanation.

Spokeswoman Paula Lemler, wife of Alcor chief executive officer Jerry Lemler, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that company officials had not seen the article and would have no comment.

Date: 8/13/2003 2:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 29387    Wow this story pisses me off greatly. Never mind the fact that he was a great and historic ballplayer, but that someone, or something could be this disrespectful to his body, and it seems like no one gives a damn.

Date: 8/13/2003 6:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 53427    Thats just disgusting and weird!!  
Date: 8/13/2003 11:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 49742    When I read this I thought they were preserving them for an experiment for trying to bring him back later down the line? It is all too freaky and disrepspectful to his body. He should have had a proper burial.

Date: 8/14/2003 4:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 13729    Wow.....A lot different then in baseball, where "Heads up" means something completely different.......
