HENDERSON, N.C. -- A woman who says her husband's eyes were removed from his body without permission is having his body exhumed for a private autopsy.

A private investigator who is working for widower Linda McMichael said the body of Elven Alston will be exhumed from the Alston family cemetery in Warrenton.

The body is expected to be taken to Pitt County Memorial Hospital.

McMichael filed a police complaint last month because she claims parts of her husband's eyes were removed after the 61-year-old man died in February at a Henderson hospital.

Police Lt. Chris Ball said Wednesday an investigation found no criminal wrongdoing but wouldn't say what led to that conclusion.

McMichael has said her husband wasn't an organ donor.
