Houdini may be exhumed

NEWS ITEM:

NEW YORK -- Eighty-one years after Harry Houdini's Halloween death in Detroit, his grandnephew wants the escape artist's body exhumed to determine whether enemies poisoned him.

"It needs to be looked at," George Hardeen said Thursday. "His death shocked the entire nation, if not the world. Now maybe it's time to take a second look."

Woudn't it be great if they opened Houdini's coffin... and it was empty?
