Bedford is the first person whose body was cryopreserved after legal death, and who remains… frozen.
To this day, Bedford’s body remains in a cryogenic capsule at the Alcor Life Extension facility in Arizona, USA.
She is very well preserved, “even looking younger than the age of 73 when she died,” according to a report by scientists who examined her in 1991.
