Conspiracy 1

The first conspiracy states that Disney was cryogenically frozen after his death. According to Disney’s daughter Diane wrote in 1972, “There is absolutely no truth that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics" (Howard 1). In truth, Walt Disney was cremated two days after his death and an urn containing his ashes were interred at the family mausoleum in the Forrest Lawn Cemetery of Glendale, California. It was a small, private service attended only by his wife, Lillian, his daughters and their husbands and children. A chronic smoker, Disney’s friends and family always knew when he was approaching due to his dry, hacking cough. For the past year, his health was declining, but Disney kept pushing. Disney already knew he had COPD and emphysema, but breathing was beginning to get harder. After some pain in his neck that made him finally go to the doctor, they discovered a tumor the size of a walnut in his lung. There he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The real death sentence.
