Steven Mandell
Steven J. Mandell[1] (legal death on July 28, 1968)[1] was the first person cryopreserved by the Cryonics Society of New York.[2] A student of aeronautical engineering at New York University,[3] he was 24 years old when he legally died of enteritis and adrenal failure at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan.[1]
His cryocapsule was eventually removed by his mother, who wanted to pay lower rates, and sent to Robert Nelson.[2] Mandell thawed out in the Chatsworth incident.[4]
