"There were a handful of other existing members who we believed may be good candidates for the first spot, but it turned out to be someone who wasn't an existing member."His family rang up out of the blue and we had about a week to prepare and get organised."

The man died on May 12 in a Sydney hospital, and the freezing process, which costs over $170,000AUD (?88,000), began immediately.?
