Cryonics Institute Case Report for Patient Number 199

CI patient #199 is an American Cryonics Society patient that is being cared for at the Cryonics Institute facility under the CI/ACS Storage Agreement.  Details of the case are confidential ACS information.

CI patient #198 was a 48 year old male from New York.  The patient was a CI member at the time of his death. 

Standby, stabilization, and transportation arrangements were made in advance with Suspended Animation (SA). SA arrived with their equipment for standby at the patient’s home, where he was under hospice care. The patient died at about 9pm on December 14th, 2020. After the patient was legally pronounced deceased, and released to SA, they performed their procedures for cool-down and stabilization. (A detailed case report will be provided by Suspended Animation.) After SA’s procedures were complete, the patient was packed in ice and prepared for transportation to the CI facility.  Once the transit permit was obtained, the patient was driven to CI.  The patient was driven to CI instead of being flown, because a flight was not available until the next day to Covid slow-downs with the airlines.
