Celebrity cryonics

Cryonics has its share of celebrity supporters and other high-profile cases. The following list mostly excludes people primarily known as futurists.

Urban legends

Walt Disney was never suspended.^[1] This is even despite a modern urban theory that says:

Disney's Frozen is only titled like that so when you Google "Disney Frozen" the movie comes up instead of conspiracy theories^[2]

Disneyonice.com is also not evidence.
