Fulton DA to exhume body of 'Housewives' regular
ATLANTA (AP) - Fulton District Attorney Paul Howard has tentatively agreed to the exhumation of the former fiance of a cast member from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta.'' Howard tells the Atlanta Journal Constitution in an e-mail Friday that the exhumation of Ashley "A.J.'' Jewell's body would be for a second autopsy to confirm he was killed by a rare sickle cell trait. Jewell is the former fiance of Kandi Burruss, a cast member on the reality television show. He died Oct. 2 after a fight with Frederick Richardson in a strip club parking lot. Howard said he "tentatively'' to Jewell's family's request for the exhumation because they are dissatisfied with the current autopsy findings and because the sickle cell crisis is an unusual cause of death. Richardson was charged with voluntary manslaughter. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
