Numerous articles and books on hypothermia and the preservation of animal tissue through freezing appeared in both the scientific/medical and general press in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Was Walt Disney aware of the possibilities of life extension through cryogenics? He certainly could have been aware of the progress being made in cryogenics research. Nearly everyone familiar with the name 'Walt Disney' has heard the story that Disney's corpse is stored in a deep-freeze chamber somewhere - directly under Disneyland's "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction is the most frequently mentioned site - awaiting the day when science could repair the damage to his body and bring 'Uncle Walt' back to life. In the decades since Walt Disney's death, the claim that he arranged for his body to be frozen has become ubiquitous. Walt Disney died two weeks later when his circulatory system collapsed on the morning of December 15, 1966. His health started to fail even more rapidly than expected, and drugs and cobalt treatments sapped what little strength he had left. He crossed the street to his studios and spent another ten days tending to studio business and visiting relatives before he grew too weak and had to return to St.
After two weeks of post-operative care, Disney was released from the hospital.
