Paul Hurst

Paul M. Hurst Sr. (legal death in 1969) was the fourth person cryopreserved by the Cryonics Society of New York.

He legally died when he was 62 years old. His cryopreservation was arranged by his son, Paul Hurst Jr., a psychology professor. Hurst Sr. was cryopreserved after a lengthy delay and had been embalmed prior to preservation as well. Around 1974 Hurst Jr. decided to move to Australia, no longer wanted to make payments, and so had his father conventionally interred. Before this, another patient, Herman Greenberg, would be held in the same capsule.
