Chess icon Fischer's body exhumed over paternity
2010-07-06
AP so here's the short version.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) -- Authorities in Iceland have exhumed the body of American chess champion Bobby Fischer to determine whether he is the father of a 9-year-old girl from the Philippines.

Police district commissioner Olafur Helgi Kjartansson said Fischer's corpse was dug up from a cemetery near Selfoss in southern Iceland early Monday in the presence of a doctor, a priest and other officials.

Kjartansson said the exhumation "was done in a professional and dignified way and according to law. The privacy of the deceased was protected at all times."

#1  Went through Selfoss two weeks ago to go to the Geysir area and the falls called Selfoss. Nice town. Did not know that Bobby was buried there.
