Salvador Dali to be exhumed for a paternity test

  • 7 years ago
On Monday, a judge in Spain gave the okay to exhume Salvador Dali's body in order to collect a DNA sample for a paternity test. Pilar Abel, a Spanish psychic and astrologist, filed a paternity suit in 2015, claiming to be Dali's long lost daughter. Dali and his wife, Gala, never had any children, but Abel claims that Dali and her mother "had a friendship that developed into a clandestine love." Abel had previously tried to confirm her parentage with a DNA test in 2007 but it was inconclusive because the DNA used was a "secondary source."
