DENVER — For nearly two decades, Bo Shaffer has been hauling hundreds of pounds of dry ice each month up to a remote shed in Nederland, Colo., where he's keeping an unusual specimen on ice: the body of Bredo Morstoel, better known as the "Frozen Dead Guy."

Morstoel, a Norwegian, died of a heart attack in 1989 and has been kept frozen ever since at the behest of his grandson, Trygve Bauge. The corpse has inspired fascination, municipal legislation and even an annual festival, Frozen Dead Guy Days.

But now the fate of Colorado's Frozen Dead Guy is in limbo after an argument between Bauge and Shaffer. The caretaker is threatening to quit over disagreements about payment and procedure for keeping Morstoel frozen. Bauge in turn is talking of moving the corpse to Michigan.

Is Mickey Mantle still cryogenically frozen, or was it just his head?

Thought that was Ted Williams.

I audibly said "Oh, God." when i saw that picture.

I had an extremely similar reaction.

Let him move to Disney and live with Walt. That'd be cool.

What a frozen dead guy in Michigan may look like (This guy was found frozen in a pool of water at the bottom of an elevator shaft in an abandoned Detroit building.)

Right, Ted Williams. My mistake.

I hope he's not to late to register to vote for Obama in Michigan.
