Corpsicle is a term that has been used in science fiction to refer to a corpse that has been cryonically cryopreserved. Its earliest printed usage in the current form dates from 1969 and appears in Fred Pohl's book, The Age of the Pussyfoot. To advocates of cryonics, the term is an offensive pejorative because of the mocking implication that cryonics patients are corpses and ice pops ("popsicles", in the USA), not sick people to be recovered.[1]

Yeah, the whole thing is bizarre. You follow a guy for a while and he's got a big coke record and lives in the Fairmont and has a DEAD FROZEN PERSON in his suite but $30K bail?

Maybe he actually has no cash and is flying on stolen credit and isn't much of a "flight risk" but that sounds unlikely.

Boy, the things that seem like a good idea when a person is high out of his skull.
