ESPN.com - MLB - Report: Pay up or Williams de-iced: "Johnson, formerly the Chief Operating Officer at Alcor, said in the report that John Henry Williams still owes the foundation $111,000. The entire preservation process costs $136,000.



Johnson also told The Times that he has seen Williams' frozen head.



'It's been in there for a year, and it's ghastly,' he said.



According to a Sports Illustrated article, Williams' body was separated from his head in a procedure called neuroseparation.



Williams' body stands upright in a 9-foot tall cylindrical steel tank, which is filled with liquid nitrogen.



The head is stored in a separate steel can filled with liquid nitrogen. It has been shaved, drilled with holes and accidentally cracked 10 times, the magazine reported."
