[Ted] Williams' son, John Henry, has spurned requests for a funeral and burial, preferring to preserve his father's body at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona. According to stories in the Boston newspapers, the body is already frozen. The Globe's Dan Shaughnessy writes, "If this is what Ted wanted, he never told anyone, at least not anybody who's talking these days. … There are only two ways to think of this: Best case—The son is in denial and thinks he can bring his father back to life. Worst case—John Henry hopes to profit from prospective cloning or DNA distribution."
