Corpse studied for clues to boy’s life 150 years ago - The amazingly well-preserved body of a young teenaged boy was found buried in an iron coffin in the District of Columbia.
‘This month, a team of experts at the National Museum of Natural History peered into his coffin to try to unravel his story, perhaps learn more about his death and maybe something of his life.’
