Williams’ daughter gives up

? Ted Williams’ eldest daughter dropped her objections Friday to her siblings’ decision to have the Hall of Famer’s body frozen at a cryonics lab in Arizona.

Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell relented after a judge agreed to allow a $645,000 trust to be distributed equally among Ferrell, half-brother John-Henry Williams and half-sister Claudia Williams. The trust was written so that no money would have been distributed until 2012, 10 years after the Boston Red Sox slugger’s death July 5.

Ferrell could not afford to continue the legal fight to have her father unfrozen and cremated. The legal fight would have cost $250,000 and Ferrell already had spent $87,000.

Ferrell had sued to have the court decide whether her father should be cremated and his ashes scattered in the ocean off Florida, as the avid fisherman specified in his 1996 will. Her siblings maintained they signed a handwritten pact with him in 2000 agreeing that their bodies would be frozen.

Shortly after Williams died at 83 of cardiac arrest, John-Henry had his father’s body moved to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona, where it was frozen.
