Court Rules That Artist Salvador Dali's Body Can Be Exhumed

ART-ARTIST-DALI

Artist Salvador Dali will be exhumed  from his grave to provide DNA evidence in a paternity case.  The High  Court in northeastern Spain's Catalonia region will allow the body to be  exhumed July 20th for a DNA extraction.  The woman who says she's  Dali's daughter, Maria Pilar Abel, won't attend the exhumation.  She  claims her mother had an affair with Dali in the 1950's when she was  working for the family.  Abel says she just wants recognition as Dali's  daughter, not an inheritance.
