== Cryopreservation ==
Apparently Monts traveled from his home in North Carolina for dental work in his previous neighborhood in South Carolina. Sometime on the evening of October 31, 2012, he was robbed. Sometime the following morning, he was found [[Clinical death|clinically dead]] in his hotel room. Time of death was estimated as around 11 pm by the pathologist. The suspicious circumstances made this a coroner's case.<ref name="Case summary" />

The first Alcor knew of any of this was at 2:08 pm on November 1. Alcor pressed to limit the [[autopsy]]. With Alcor's legal input, the coroner agreed to conduct a toxicology panel and external head examination while refraining from opening the skull and sectioning the brain. Monts was then released to Alcor on the condition that they conduct a [[CT scan]] of his brain and send the results to the coroner.<ref name="Case summary" />

[[Aaron Drake]] flew out to Charleston on November 4 to collect Monts, who was now at [[dry ice]] temperature, buying Alcor time. Drake conducted the [[neuroseparation]] and then, that evening, topped off the neuro shipper box with dry ice ready for shipment to Alcor the following morning. A medical emergency delayed the flight's arrival, as it was diverted to El Paso. The patient arrived in Phoenix on November 7 and reached Alcor at 6:30 am. [[Cooldown box|Cooldown]] to [[liquid nitrogen]] temperature began shortly after. He is Alcor's 113th patient, and his Alcor identifier is '''A-1645'''.<ref name="Case summary" />
