Walt Disney Was Cryogenically Frozen After His Death

Disney was cremated; cryogenic freezing is based on false rumours

Walt Disney had his body cryogenically frozen to be revived in the future.

Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, and was cremated two days later. His ashes were scattered at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. The cryogenic freezing rumour began circulating after his death, possibly due to his interest in futuristic technology and science, but has no factual basis. Disney's will and death records confirm cremation.
