Death
In October 2003, it was announced that John Henry had been diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, the same disease that claimed Ted's brother, Danny, in 1960. He began chemotherapy, and underwent a bone marrow transplant with a donation from Claudia. He died with Claudia and Dolores at his side on March 6, 2004 at the UCLA Medical Center. He was 35.
John Henry's body was then transported to Alcor, in further fulfillment of the controversial agreement.
