Poisoning in Upper Bavaria?
Man exhumed eight weeks after burial
Eight weeks after the funeral, the man was dug up again in the cemetery.
Such an "exhumation" rarely happens in Bavaria.
According to the
PNP
, forensic scientists and medical students traveled to the excavation to see how something like this is going on out of professional interest.

75-year-olds possibly poisoned by their own family members
The examination of the corpse reportedly revealed clear indications that the man had been administered poison.
As the
PNP
writes, the investigative authorities allegedly have a confession from a family member of the man.
However, the public prosecutor's office did not confirm this representation.
The 75-year-old's family had actually planned an urn burial.
A poisoning could no longer have been proven through the ashes.
It was only at the last moment that the family decided against it.
So now the possible homicide of the head of the family can be investigated.
