An Arizona lab that houses Ted Williams’ ((pictured in 2002, thanks Jim Mahoney/Boston Herald)) frozen remains will file suit Monday to block a new book claiming the Red Sox great’s head was treated like a “grotesque pinata” and smacked with a wrench, among other macabre misdeeds, the Herald has learned.
New York attorney Vincent Bauer said he intends to file the lawsuit in New York Supreme Court on behalf of Alcor Life Extension against Larry Johnson, the company’s former chief operating officer and author of the explosive new book, “Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death.”
What...??? Is this "Futurama" or something...???
Shortly after Williams died in 2002, his head was frozen and placed in a so-called “neuro-suspension” at Alcor’s facility.
Bauer said the suit will accuse Johnson of violating a July order by an Arizona Superior Court judge barring him from “publishing or communicating any information about Alcor to third parties, including . . . any and all information which disparages Alcor in any way.”
“We’re looking to hold Mr. Johnson to his agreements and force him to comply with a valid court order,” Bauer said.
Neuro-suspension...
Sounds like something went wrong with a '78 Buick LeSabre or something...
Johnson claims two lab workers bashed the legendary slugger’s frozen skull with a wrench to dislodge it from its pedestal: a Bumble Bee tuna can.
“Little gray chunks of Ted’s head flew off, peppering the walls, skittering across the floor and sliding under the machinery.”
Neat...
((ed. note- Under normal circumstances, we would have found the old "Bumble Bee Tuna" TV commercial. Y'know... "I like Bumble Bee, Bumble tuna" but it's too easy.))
Johnson also alleges Alcor was supposed to keep Williams’ body intact and not remove the head.
