DALLAS, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Recently discovered documents from the 1981 exhumation and autopsy on Lee Harvey Oswald appear headed for Dallas' Sixth Floor Museum archives.
Oswald was arrested in Dallas for the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of President John F. Kennedy and was himself shot dead soon after by Jack Ruby. Oswald was buried in a Fort Worth, Texas, cemetery, but rumors swirled the body in his coffin was really that of a Soviet spy.
After the exhumation, a team of pathologists concluded the remains were those of Oswald, and the documents were filed with the Dallas County medical examiner's office.
They sat forgotten until recently, and the Dallas Morning News reports county commissioners are expected to approve a permanent loan next week to the non-profit historical foundation that manages the museum.
Deborah Marine, a spokeswoman for the museum told the newspaper there were no plans yet for what the museum would do with the exhumation documents, but said they would at least be added to the museum's archival material available to scholars and researchers.
