Bizarre gruesome postscript on the controversial plan to cryogenically preserve the all-star’s remains. Read it before you go with Alcor Life Extension! “The silver can containing Williams’ head resembles a lobster pot and is marked in black with Williams’ patient I.D. number, A-1949, according to the SI story. Williams’ head has been shaved and drilled with holes. Verducci also reports that, before the head was placed in its present location, it was accidentally cracked as many as 10 times due to fluctuating storage temperatures…Two dime-size holes were drilled into the head to observe the brain condition and, more important, to insert sensors that could detect cracks during the freezing process. But after “a huge crack” occurred in the head in April and nine more cracks were reported in July, Williams’ head was removed from its original container and eventually placed in its current “neuro-can.”” Sports Illustrated [via Daily Rotten]
