The body of former Chicago Bears President George Halas Jr. was exhumed and a second autopsy was performed to determine if a heart attack actually caused his death eight years ago.
The autopsy disclosed no evidence of physical trauma but was still inconclusive, said Dr. Michael Baden, who conducted the six-hour procedure. He said more tests will be performed.
Halas’ first wife, Therese, divorced from Halas at the time of his death, has contended he had no major medical problems. She requested the second autopsy to see if drugs or poison might have been involved.
