Shakespeare's skull 'probably stolen' from Stratford grave

STRATFORD: -- A hi-tech investigation of William Shakespeare's grave has concluded his skull was probably stolen.

The discovery gives credence to a news report in 1879, later dismissed as fiction, that trophy hunters took the skull from his shallow grave in 1794.

A team used a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scan to look through the grave at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford in the first archaeological probe of the site.
