Older Son Saves University of Georgia Professor George Zinkhan From Paupers Grave

Older Son Saves University of Georgia Professor George Zinkhan From Paupers Grave, as a last ditch effort goes out to the public, for someone to claim his body. An older son claims the body of his Father, Professor George Zinkhan, who has been accused in the killings of his last wife, and two of her theater associates.

The body of accused triple killer and University of Georgia professor George Zinkhan was claimed by a relative later Friday, May 15th, 2009, nearly a week after Zinkhans’ body was found buried in a shallow grave, after his suicide.

A mortuary shipping service in Atlanta picked up Zinkhan’s body at the request of a son from a previous marriage, GBI spokesman John Bankhead stated. Details on plans for the body weren’t immediately available.

Earlier Friday, Bankhead had said Zinkhan’s body could be headed to a pauper’s grave if a family didn’t claim the body from the Athens-Clarke County coroner’s office by Saturday morning, May 16th, 2009.

Such a grave is typically reserved for unidentified bodies, unclaimed bodies or people without
family members.
