On September 7, 1967, Nisco suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital.<ref name="Perry 1992" /> He was 77 (or 55<ref name="Shoffstall p. 151">[https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/90878/SHOFFSTALL-DISSERTATION-2016.pdf Failed Futures, Broken Promises, and the Prospect of Cybernetic Immortality: Toward an Abundant Sociological History of Cryonic Suspension, 1962–1979] (page 151 of the file).

Grant W. Shoffstall</ref> His cryopreservation was arranged by his daughter Marie Bowers (née Nisco).<ref name="Shoffstall p. 185" />

In the spring of 1969, Nisco and his cryocapsule were shipped to [[Joseph Klockgether]]'s mortuary.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> Klockgether and [[Robert Nelson]], the president of the [[Cryonics Society of California]], had the capsule cut open, removed Nisco and an interior support, and then put Nisco, [[Helen Kline]], [[Marie Phelps-Sweet]], and [[Russ Stanley]] back inside.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> The bodies were not deliberately thawed but must have suffered substantial warming, though according to Klockgether they were still frozen.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> Then a welder resealed the capsule, which required a wait of several more hours, and it was refilled with [[liquid nitrogen]].<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> The capsule remained at the mortuary another 14 months, tended by Klockgether, who refilled it periodically.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> In May 1970, the capsule was shipped to Robert Nelson's facility in Chatsworth.<ref name="Charles Platt">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071022020024/https://www.cryonics.org/immortalist/november05/nelson.htm Robert Nelson and the Chatsworth Scandal].

Nisco and the other three in the same capsule were among those who thawed out in the [[Chatsworth incident]].<ref name="Shoffstall p. 190">[https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/90878/SHOFFSTALL-DISSERTATION-2016.pdf Failed Futures, Broken Promises, and the Prospect of Cybernetic Immortality: Toward an Abundant Sociological History of Cryonic Suspension, 1962–1979] (page 190 of the file).
