As the story goes, Walt Disney's corpse is stored in a deep-freeze chamber somewhere — awaiting the day when science can repair the damage to his body and bring him back to life.
Half a century onwards, the rumor that Walt Disney's body was put in cryonic storage remains one of the most enduring legends about the entertainment giant.Disney arranged to have himself frozen in cryonic chamber full of liquid nitrogen upon his death.Walt Disney's health had been deteriorating for many months before he finally agreed to enter St. Joseph hospital in California on 2 November 1966, for tests concerning the pain in his leg and neck.
The subject of cryonics was further brought to the public's attention with the publication in 1964 of Robert C.W. Ettinger's book,Ettinger's book, drawing on much of the available literature about cryonics, covered the practical, legal, ethical, and moral impact of freezing and reviving human beings.
Not surprisingly, the source behind this piece of information is nowhere to be found in Eliot's notes. And as there is no record of Roy ever having spoken of his brother's alleged interest in cryonics, Eliot's"source" was likely nothing more than repetition of rumor.is also rather long on rumor and short on facts.
Mosley's statements regarding Disney's belief in the feasibility of cryonics are somewhat difficult to take seriously, given that his book includes such ludicrously erroneous statements as: shows that he was cremated two days after his death. The name, license number, and signature of the enbalmer appearing on the death certificate are those of a real enbalmer who was employed at the Forest Lawn mortuary at the time.for Walt Disney can be found at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale , and court papers indicate that the Disney estate paid $40,000 to Forest Lawn for interment property.
In fact, it was not until hours after he was declared dead that an announcement was made. First came radio announcements, then a curt official notice informed the press and public that Walt Disney was no more. It added that there would be no funeral. He had already been cremated, the announcement said, and his ashes interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Only immediate family members had been present.
So, given that relatives and studio heads had to be notified before any statements about Disney's death were made to the press; that the media were not on a"Disney death watch," busily preparing obituaries and tributes; and that communications in 1966 were certainly slower than they are today, it is not at all surprising that official news of Disney's death did not reach the public until a few hours later.
