A.J. Jewell’s body to be exhumed

According to TMZ.com, Georgia officials have agreed to exhume the body of A.J. Jewell, the ex-fiancé of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Kandi Burress to reexamine what may have caused his death.

Relatives pushed for the exhumation and a second autopsy, saying Jewell did not have sickle cell and they believe there were other circumstances leading to his death.

Jewell’s father, the Rev. A.B. Jewell Sr., said family members cannot have closure until they know for sure how A.J. died.

A.J. Jewell died after a fight with another man, Fredrick Richardson, in the parking lot of an Atlanta strip club in October, police said. Richardson was arrested on a charge of voluntary manslaughter.

Police originally said Jewell died from blunt force trauma, but a medical examiner reported that sickle cell disease also contributed to his death.
