There was no drilling into Bobby Fischer’s body
Posted on 08 July 2010
American newspaper The New York Post reported yesterday that Icelandic authorities had drilled through Bobby Fischer’s coffin and into his body in order to take a DNA sample from the exhumed chess grand master’s corpse. But the Selfoss district commissioner says the NYP got it wrong.
The NYP article states that the DNA sample was taken by drilling through Fischer’s coffin and into his body; but Olafur Helgi Kjartansson, Selfoss District Commissioner, said: “I can confirm that that is not right.”
He says the exhumation, DNA test an re-burial were carried out with due respect, leaving everything intact. The procedure took place in the presence of a doctor and a priest, Visir.is reported.
(This story originally pointed to the New York Times; when it should have been the New York Post. These are two different newspapers and IceNews apologises to the NYT for any damage done)

This is so sad.
Well, I always knew that the New York Times was a scandal rag, printing all the news that’s not fit to print. This only confirms it.
The NY Times was the only major publication to glorify Sam Sloan and Ray Gordon. How sick is that?
“NYP got it wrong” so does the NY Times.
The NY Times is a major disgrace.
It is worse than a rag it is a complete waste of resources.
It publishes lies and is used as bedding for pedophiles and chess gadflies who use it to make love to each other. Haha SS and RG.
NY Times is a disgusting and vile publication only fit to be flushed and read by imbeciles!
