The body of chess legend Bobby Fischer was exhumed Monday in Iceland, law enforcement officials have told CNN. His body was reburied shortly after DNA samples were taken, the officials said.

Iceland's supreme court ruled last month in favor of a request by Jinky Young, Fischer's alleged daughter, to exhume his remains in order to settle a paternity question.

From another source for which I can't recall the URL, it was noted that his estate - which is apparently still unsettled 2+ years after his death - is worth about 2 million USD.
