(AP) -- No new autopsy was performed on former White House deputy counsel Vince Foster at a U.S. Navy hospital in Virginia, despite the claim of an online story that experts there found evidence of a homicide.
The story from usapoliticstoday claimed Foster's body was exhumed and examined at "the Naval Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia." It said forensic specialists, including the head of the hospital's forensics laboratory, concluded the cause of death should be changed from suicide to homicide. The article also alleged there was no autopsy when Foster died in 1993.
