''[[Cryonics Reports]]''. November 1966</ref> He organized [[James Bedford]]'s [[cryopreservation]] in January 1967, carried out by affiliates of CSC. Bedford is the first true [[cryonics]] patient in the world.

CSC cryopreserved also several other people, but most of them thawed out in the [[Chatsworth incident]]. The main responsible for the incident, Nelson had been found out by 1979. By June 1981, a California civil court had found him guilty of "fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress," and ultimately ordered him to pay upwards of one million dollars in damages to those who brought the suit against him—Terry and Dennis Harris,
Marri Bowers, and Claire Halpert, the adult children of the CSC patients who under Nelson's watch were left to thaw and decompose at Chatsworth. Some 34 years later, Nelson had yet to pay a cent.<ref name="Shoffstall p. 196–197">[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] (pages 196–197 of the file).

By October 1974, Nelson had quit as the president of CSC.<ref name="Charles Platt">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071022020024/https://www.cryonics.org/immortalist/november05/nelson.htm Robert Nelson and the Chatsworth Scandal].

occupation had been to own and operate a TV repair business.<ref name="Memorial" /> He wrote books ''[[We Froze the First Man]]'' (1968, as told to Sandra Stanley), and ''[[Freezing People Is (Not) Easy]]'' (2014, with Kenneth Bly and Sally Magaña).

Nelson was cryopreserved by the [[Cryonics Institute]] in June 2018, becoming CI's patient number 170.<ref>[https://www.cryonics.org/images/uploads/magazines/CI-NEWS-2018-02.pdf CI BULLETIN].
