Off Topic / [NEWS] Painter Salvador Dali's body to be exhumed for paternity suit
« on: June 28, 2017, 03:27:26 PM »
A judge in Madrid has ordered the exhumation of the body of Spanish artist Salvador Dalí to get samples for a paternity suit.
A Spanish woman, born in 1956, said her mother, a maid, had a clandestine affair with the painter in 1955.
The judge said there were no biological remains or personal objects of the artist to be used in the test. He died in Spain in 1989 at the age of 85.
The Dalí Foundation, which manages the artist's estate, says it will appeal.
The surrealist painter was buried in the theatre and museum he designed himself, in his home town of Figueres in the north-eastern Catalonia region.
Maria Pilar Abel Martínez, a tarot card reader who was born in Girona, made the paternity claim for the first time in 2015.
Is he the father? Will he cough up that child support?
