Southern Cryonics, which operates the first known cryonics facility in the Southern Hemisphere, has announced that they have successfully cryogenically frozen their first patient at their Holbrook facility. Their first client is an 80-year-old man who has died in Sydney before being frozen at -200°C. The company is referring to him as Patient One.
The facility manager of Southern Cryonic, Philip Rhoades, has said that it was a very stressful situation that kept them awake for a week. Several processes had to be performed each day, and if they had not been prepared properly, then anything might have gone wrong.
He added that the firm has many existing patients who were thought to be its first patients, but the 80-year-old man unexpectedly became its first patient even though he was not its existing one.
Patient one died on 12 May 2024 at a hospital in Sydney, and then their family contacted the Cryonics firm out of the blue. The 10-hour process of preserving his body was started immediately. The body of the man has been moved to the coldest room of the hospital and packed with ice to bring at the temperature of 6 degrees Celsius.
After that, doctors pumped an antifreeze liquid into the body to preserve the cells and lower the body temperature, and then they moved on to another process. The whole process of the cryonics company freezing the man cost around $170,000.
