Geraldo Was Right!
Well, sort of. As a follow up on an earlier post, it turns out the skull was not Mozart's, and even more surprising that the alleged remains of his grandmother and niece aren't even the remains of relatives.
But DNA analysis by researchers at the Institute for Forensic Medicine in
Innsbruck and the U.S. Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory in Rockville,
Maryland, proved inconclusive. The team found no link between the skull and the
exhumed remains, nor among the remains themselves...

...In a similar but unrelated project, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory reported last month that x-ray analysis of skull fragments from Ludwig van Beethoven showed that the German composer died of severe lead poisoning.

Glad to see our tax dollars hard at work unraveling these important mysteries...
