At first, the job as clinical director at Alcor Life Extension Foundation was an exciting change for veteran paramedic Larry Johnson: a well-funded research facility pushing the limits of modern biotech. But as he gained the trust of his eccentric coworkers and was promoted to acting COO, Larry was thrust into a nightmare world of scandalous controversy, gruesome practices, and deadly secrets.
In Frozen, Larry unearths many secrets, but one in particular is the full, tragic, never-before-heard story of what truly happened to the body of baseball icon and American hero Ted Williams.
"He killed her ... We're pretty secure in all of this stuff ... Who's going to admit to anything? It's deniable." -Joe Hovey, Alcor secretary, treasurer, and former vice president
"We used bars of potassium chloride. It was to kill them ... to put them down and make sure they stayed that way ... We did not want anyone waking up and causing problems." -Hugh Hixon, Alcor senior board member and facilities engineer
Larry Johnson has over thirty years experience as a street paramedic and clinical director for major city 911 services. He was chief flight paramedic at the Waco, Texas, siege, has served as keynote speaker at national medical conferences, and was a contributing author for Prentice Hall's 2005 Critical Care Paramedic, the most widely used textbook of its kind. After blowing the whistle on Alcor in late 2003 and receiving multiple death threats, Larry went into hiding.
