Having read about this process, Bedfrod asked his body to be frozen after his passing.
On the afternoon of January 12, 1967, he was injected with dimethyl sulfoxide – to protect his internal organs – after all his blood was drained from his body.
Next, they placed Bedford in a tank of liquid nitrogen at minus 196 degrees Celsius.
Twenty-four years later, Alcor, an organization performing cryonic preservation, opened Bedford’s body and checked his cryogenic condition.
It was determined that the body was preserved nicely. His nose and mouth smelled like blood and his face looked younger than his 73 years. Areas of skin on his chest and neck were discolored and his corneas were the chalky white of ice.
Then, technicians wrapped Bedford in a new sleeping bag and immersed his body in liquid nitrogen to wait.
Today, over 50 years after the promised time to wake Bredford, he’s still just a “mummy.”
According to Robert Nelson, one of three scientist who performed the cryonic preservation, Bredford’s last words were: “I want you to understand that I did not do this with the thought that I would be revived. I did this in the hope that one day my descendants will benefit from this wonderful scientific solution.”
