It looked more to me like a continuation of the nasty little family struggle
over money; notice the sympathic comment in the story aimed at the (villain
of the piece) sister who was trying to get her father cremated. In order,
one supposes, to get a bigger cut of the will out of the son who supported
the cryopreservation, reading between the lines.
I put up a couple of links to more balanced accounts in the news blurb for
this thing on the Longevity Meme (just go to the front page
http://www.longevitymeme.org, on the right, or
http://www.longevitymeme.org/news if you're looking at it tomorrow or
later).

Jerry Lemler has given interviews today to The New York Times, The Boston
Herald, and The Arizona Republic to refute the groundless allegations. I
don't think Alcor is going to let this slip by without countering.
