Dr. Phil to Pay to Exhume Body of Rebecca Zahau‎

1. The "Dr. Phil" television show is paying to exhume the body of woman who died at historic Coronado mansion so it can be tested for further evidence. Rebecca Zahau's body will be exhumed from her grave in Missouri and tested for further evidence of foul play, and her family will appear on the "Dr. Phil" show in November, according to celebrity news website RadarOnline.com. After a seven-week investigation, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and other agencies concluded Zahau, 32, committed suicide. Her family has refused to accept the finding, saying Zahau was a religious woman who viewed suicide a sin. Read the full story on Coronado.Patch.com.
