Richardson signed up for [[neuropreservation]] with the [[Alcor Life Extension Foundation]] in 2004.<ref name="Press releases" /> He had a long career as a pharmacist in Burlington. He was married, but had no children, and his wife predeceased him.<ref name="Court decision" />

He legally died on February 19, 2009, having suffered from dementia the year before his death.<ref name="Press releases" /> His brother and sister had him [[Embalming|embalmed]] and then buried in Burlington on February 21, 2009.<ref name="Court decision" /> Alcor learned of his death two months afterwards, when his brother asked Alcor to refund the money paid.<ref name="Press releases" />

After unsuccessful discussions with his brother and sister to obtain access to the remains, Alcor petitioned the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County on June 8, 2009. On July 15, 2009, the district court ruled in favor of his relatives, but Alcor took the case to the Iowa Supreme Court on August 12, 2009.<ref name="Press releases" /> On May 12, 2010, the Iowa Court of Appeals ruled that the remains belonged to Alcor.<ref name="Court decision" /> The patient was received at Alcor on September 3, 2010.<ref>[https://www.alcor.org/complete-list-of-non-confidential-cryopreserved-alcor-patients/ Complete List of Non-Confidential Cryopreserved Alcor Patients]. alcor.org</ref> His identifier is '''A-2098'''.

While Alcor followed the patient's wishes for preservation under poor conditions in this case, this case does not imply or endorse beliefs that remains in poor condition can be [[Revival|revived]] in any ordinary sense.<ref name="Press releases" />
