NEW YORK (Associated Press) -- The circumstances surrounding Harry Houdini's sudden death were as murky as the rivers where he often performed death-defying stunts. Despite a medical explanation, rumors that the escape artist was murdered have persisted for decades.

Eighty-one years after Houdini died on Halloween 1926, his great-nephew wants to exhume the magician's body to determine if enemies poisoned him for debunking their bogus claims of contact with the dead.

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

Houdini's family scheduled a news conference for Friday to give details on the plans. Hardeen said a team of top forensic investigators would conduct new tests on Houdini's body.

Jeesh, let the dude rest in peace.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that great-nephew has a monetary motive.

Noooo, it's never about money....

I agree this guy is motivated by money. Lots of $$$. He probably thinks he can get some deal for a reality show, as if there aren't enough of these shows on the air already.
