Andrew Mihok
Andrew F. Mihok[1] (c. 1920 – legal death November 19, 1968)[1] was the second person cryopreserved by the Cryonics Society of New York.[2] He was a drill press operator who lived in the upstate New York town of Vestal.[3] A veteran of World War II, he served in the United States Navy.[1]
Mihok was 48 years old when he legally died of a heart attack.[3] The following day, his wife, Mildred Mihok, signed the paperwork for his cryopreservation.[3] He was perfused by using a typical, glycerol-saline solution.[3] He was then placed in dry ice for a short time until his relatives decided to have him thawed.[3] He was buried on December 5, 1968.[3]
