== Accident and cryopreservation ==
On August 29, 2002, he was flying a helicopter over a lake with an experienced flying instructor, in the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness near Ketchikan, Alaska. For reasons unknown, but possibly relating to air turbulence, the copter took a flip-dive into the cold water, landing upside down; the two aboard were casualties mainly by drowning.<ref name="Patient profile">[https://cryonicsarchive.org/docs/cryonics-magazine-2006-01.pdf Patient Profile: Leonard Zubkoff].
