Florence Ballard's Sister To Dig Up Soul Star's Body!

Found this in another board,,,don't know how true it is:

The sister of tragic SUPREMES star FLORENCE BALLARD wants to dig up the singer's body and prove she was murdered.
The soul star died more than 30 years ago, but her sister Maxine has never accepted coronary artery thrombosis was the true cause of death.
Maxine, 65, believes Florence was murdered because she knew too much about some of the music industry's biggest players.
She tells America's the Globe, "She didn't have a history of heart disease.
"There was this brown cereal-type substance (in her system) that was never identified.
"I believe she was killed because someone wanted to silence her... Florence had big plans for the future. I believe she was killed."
The Globe has unearthed a lost interview the late soul star gave to the Detroit Free Press just before her death, when she admitted she feared for her life after suing Motown founder Berry Gordy for what she claimed was missing millions in royalty money.
She revealed, "I began to get scared. I don't know why, I just had a fear."
Maxine reveals her sister was plotting an expose all about Motown when she died.

I don’t mean to sound rude but I’m curious as to why it took so long for her to decide to exhume? If she’s had doubts, was she unable to do so earlier?

It's from the Daily Mirror in the UK so I don't know how true it is.

maybe because forensics have come a long way since then and can now identify the brown cereal-like substance?
