Question

Walt Disney was frozen after death

Answer 1

False. This pbs.org article states that Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen is a rumor that started decades ago. His own daughter even stated, "There is absolutely no truth that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics.” The article also claims that Walt was cremated 2 days after his death and his urn holding his ashes were interred at the family mausoleum in the Forrest Lawn Cemetery of Glendale, California.

That’s just what they would say if it was a secret.

Your fact-check includes a source and a rating. Nice job! However, it's missing the detailed explanation (see the sidebar of this page).

Answer 3

According to Solace, Walt Disney is not frozen. This website claims that family members confirmed he was cremated and had his ashes spread in California. The idea that he was frozen after death is just a myth that has been debunked.
