hundreds of Hall of Famers have died and i don't recall anything in the media like this about any of them, just tributes. so i fail to see any motivation for the media to pick Ted Williams and his family to create some kind of bullshit crazy story.

Many issues.
I was present in the meeting with Alcor back in 1998. So when the media stated it was thought up days before Ted's death, that was a lie. JHW and Ted both had many discussions about the Alcor center and both agreed to be frozen, back in 1998.
When the media stated that Ted was a prisoner in his own house, that was a lie. I had dinner/lunch/breakfast with Ted and JHW dozens of times. Ted came and went as he pleased, but always had a helper with him. The mad survived numerous strokes, and was a tough son of bitch.
Bobby Joe was never in the picture until close to Ted's death. She made it look like she was the doting daughter. She wasn't.
The only person who took care of Ted on a daily basis was JHW. People disliked JHW because he prevented Ted from being taken advantage. One particular case I remember in perfect detail was when NPR called and was looking to interview Ted. JHW refused them, and the guy from NPR said right on the phone, you will regret this JHW. A few weeks later, NPR was slamming JHW.
The media always had a love hate relationship with Ted dating back to his playing career.
Most everything you read and see on TV about the whole ordeal is utter bullshit. As I said, I worked with JHW and had the opportunity to get to know Ted. I would venture to say I am one of the few people on this planet who -really- knew JHW.
