I notice that the piece refers to

I suspect the obit relied heavily on materials from the Cryonics Institute
and no one bothered to verify any of it. (Fact checking is an area that
the press has cut back on substantially as they've struggled to remain
profitable.)

Of course, Alcor's location is above the fold on its home page, so it
would have been a moment's work to confirm.

To boot, they misspelled "physics" in the URL...
