MADRID Surrealist master Salvador Dali's trademark moustache is in perfect shape in its"ten past ten" position, officials said on Friday, a day after his remains were exhumed to settle a paternity claim.
"I was absolutely stunned. It was like a miracle...his moustache appeared at 10 past 10 and his hair was intact," said Narcis Bardalet, the forensic expert who embalmed Dali back in 1989 and who was at his grave the moment he was exhumed on Thursday night for DNA test. DNA samples were taken from Dali's hair, nail and two long bones. A Madrid court last month granted Pilar Abel a DNA test to determine whether she is Dali's child, as she claims. If Abel is confirmed as Dali's only child, she could be entitled to 25 percent of Dali's huge fortune. (AFP)
