«Breaking News» Arizona cryogenics firm sued for $1million by dead scientist's son

The distraught son of a late California scientist is suing a cryogenics firm and claims the lab wrongly cremated his father's body and preserved only his head.

Kurt Pilgeram claims in a new lawsuit against the Scottsdale, Arizona-based Alcor Life Extension Foundation that he received a package containing Dr. Laurence Pilgeram's cremated body - which was allegedly against the family's agreement.

Legal documents obtained by The Telegraph state that Kurt opened the package that 'purportedly contained his father's cremated remains, except allegedly for his father's head.'  

Laurence was 90 when he died from an apparent cardiac arrest outside his Goleta home on April 10, 2015.

 The scientist also worked in cryogenics and became the firm's 135th patient

The scientist, who also worked in cryogenics, became the firm's 135th patient, the website states, three years ago.

The filing states that British-born Dr. Max More was required to preserve all of his remains, 'no matter how damaged,' The Telegraph reports from the filing. 

Kurt was left 'shocked, horrified and extremely distressed' over the lab's alleged wrongdoing.

WHAT IS CRYOGENICS? 

Cryogenics is the art of freezing bodies by preserving a dead body with liquid nitrogen.

Currently, it can only legally happen when someone has just been declared dead.

The freezing process must begin as soon as the patient dies in order to prevent brain damage, with facilities currently available in Russia and the US.

In the procedure, the body is cooled in an ice bath to gradually reduce its temperature bit by bit.

Experts then drain the blood and replace it with an anti freeze fluid to stop harmful ice crystals forming in the body.

However, last November they launched a cryptocurrency offering to raise money for their new center, which people from around the world could come to just before they died.

If plans go ahead, this would be the first time the company would work on a body that is not biologically dead.

'Kurt has suffered extreme emotional distress as a result of Alcor's accusations and has been injured as alleged in an amount in excess of $1million.

'Alcor undertook such actions maliciously and oppressively, and with intent to cause injury.' 

'There is little, if any, hope of bringing his head "back to life" under the circumstances here.'   

The cryogenics company could not comment on the pending litigation.

An initial trial date has not yet been set.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
