Williams' severed head was then frozen, and even used for batting practice by a technician trying to dislodge it from a tuna fish can.

You mean a cryogenics company was NOT run by trusted medical professionals?! What?!

I thought that it was already pretty well-known that cracks developed in Williams' head during the freezing process--it had certainly been reported before, and as I understand it is a fairly common problem with current cryogenic technology (and one of the reasons that most medical professionals--even those that believe that one day we will be able to freeze and later revive people--don't think that we'll ever be able to revive anyone who is currently frozen). (For what it's worth, I don't think we'll ever be able to freeze and later revive someone who's already dead, though we might be able to freeze and later revive someone who's terminally ill but not yet dead--but that raises a lot of legal and ethical issues.)
