The body of a lottery winner who was poisoned was exhumed today.
Urooj Khan, 46, died in July after winning a million dollars.
That ticket was worth $425,000 in a lump sum payout.
An autopsy last summer ruled he died of natural causes, but toxicology tests performed at the request of a relative, found cyanide in his system.
Experts say a capsule full of cyanide can kill someone in under two hours.
Khan’s wife and father-in-law have been questioned, but no charges have been filed.
The exhumation of Khan’s remains began at 7 a.m. Friday, at Rosehill Cemetery on Chicago’s North Side.
An autopsy on his body will be performed Friday afternoon.

I don't think the wife did it, I believe the brother and his family are the greedy ones.
