A-1598

A-1598 (legal death on October 13, 2005) is the first neuropreservation patient vitrified with M22. A 60-year-old diabetic, he was cryopreserved by the Alcor Life Extension Foundation immediately after his legal death. According to his case summary, it was one of the best cryopreservation procedures ever implemented at Alcor to date.

Cryopreservation
On October 7, 2005, A-1598, an Alcor member, was discovered unconscious in his California home by his significant other, also an Alcor member. No one knows how long he had been lying there, but paramedics were immediately called to the scene. He was evaluated and treated at his local hospital. Alcor’s northern California transport team members were among the first responders to the emergency call. Several local team members were deployed to the hospital with stabilization equipment while an Alcor Central team was dispatched along with its emergency transport vehicle from Arizona. A standby was performed and lasted for several days. Meanwhile his significant other made arrangements for an air ambulance to safely transport him to a hospice located in Arizona within five miles of Alcor’s facility. It was merely eight hours after landing at the airport that A-1598's heart stopped. The patient stabilization began immediately. He was perfused with M22.
