Pathologist: Unclear what remains of Yasser Arafat's body
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it depends on a number of factors including:
- How the body has been buried
- What condition it was in when it entered the ground
- How expensive the coffin was
- Whether modern embalming techniques were used
He said: "I think it is certainly possible that they could find residual traces of radioactive material," but added it was doubtful they would find solid evidence of poisoning if only bones remain.
