An actress has been given a deadline to raise $170,000 to preserve the body of her adolescent son who committed suicide.

There is a lot of time pressure.

With little time left to take action, the GoFundMe had only raised about AU$13,895 at the time of writing, well short of its target.

“If this is all for nothing, I just don’t want to disturb him,” McCann stated. “Really, starting Thursday (May 29), I know I should be putting him in a fully synthetic sleeping bag and putting ice packs surrounding him at the very least to have any kind of chance.”

“He deserves a second chance to live the life he wanted,” she added.

McCann said her son has been intrigued by the prospect of cryopreservation for a long time.

A mother who is accused of selling her 6-year-old daughter “for eyes and skin” made a claim regarding her disappearance.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, her 16-year wife, make a devastating announcement.
