Corpse of Zviad Gamsakhurdia Found in Chechnya

GROZNY Authorities in Chechnya on Saturday unearthed what appeared to be the corpse of former Georgian President Zviad Gamsakhurdia, his son said, and forensic experts prepared to examine the remains to determine the cause of his mysterious death.
As long as he stays dead. Don't disturb the stake through where his heart would have been.
Gamsakhurdia was elected as Georgias first president in 1991, but was overthrown in a popular uprising in January 1992.
Zviad termed himself "the Saddam Hussein of the Caucasus."
He fled to Chechnya and lived there until he returned to Georgia and led an unsuccessful rebellion aimed at returning to power. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1993. Gamsakhurdias son Konstantin Gamsakhurdia told reporters in Grozny on Saturday that he had identified his fathers body based on his watch and shoes, put in his coffin in line with local tradition. I have no doubt that it is him, he said.
"I'd recognize that silver bullet anywhere!"
