Cryonics facility to open in August in Boynton Beach

By Times Staff Writer
Published July 16, 2005


BOYNTON BEACH - A company whose manager once worked for the Arizona firm that froze the head of baseball legend Ted Williams plans to open a cryonics facility in Boynton Beach.

Suspended Animation expects to open in August. The facility was approved 4-1 by Boynton Beach commissioners in March, after being repeatedly rejected by Boca Raton officials. Manager Charles Platt formerly worked for Alcor Life Extension Foundation, which reportedly severed Williams' head and stored the body parts in a steel bin in Arizona after he died in July 2002.
