Did I just read that?

"A team from Italy’s National Committee for Cultural Heritage, a leading association of scientists and art historians, has asked to open the tomb in which the Renaissance painter died in 1519." http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/01/24/scientists-want-exhume-leonardo-da-vinci-solve-mona-lisa-mystery/?test=latestnews

He was buried and then died? Wow. That's tricky. Especially since we're talking about Da Vinci here, and he supposedly died in the arms of the King! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci#Old_age.2C_1513-1519)

Especially when you take into account this statement from later in the article: "The church in which Leonardo was buried was destroyed after the French revolution of 1789. The remains were reburied in the castle’s smaller chapel of Saint-Hubert in 1874, beneath an inscription that describes them as “presumed” to be the master’s."
