Goal steal a body of Charlie Chaplin.

The San Francisco Examiner March 2, 1978. Headline. Goal steal a body of Charlie Chaplin.

Article Switzerland. Grave robbers have stolen the coffin containing the remains of Charlie Chaplin. Swiss police announced today.

A statement by state police headquarters said the coffin was dug up and taken away last night or early today.

Chaplin died on Christmas Day at the age of 88. He was buried two days later in the tiny cemetery of the village of Corsier, overlooking Lake Geneva.

During the night of March 1st to 2nd, the grave of Mr. Charlie Chaplin, who died on December 25th, 1977, was desecrated in the cemetery of Corsier, above Véve, the police statement said.

The coffin was taken away and investigation is underway on grounds of disturbing the peace of the dead.

Thursday evening, police said neither they nor Chaplin's family had received any phone calls from persons claiming to be responsible.

We have no clues at this time as to the identity of those responsible for this very sick crime, as spokesman said.

Police did not rule out the possibility of a ransom demand for the return of the coffin in Chaplin's remains.

Around the graveside at Chaplin's funeral were owner Chaplin's wife of 34 years, seven of their eight children, household employees, the family doctor, and Alan Rothney, the British ambassador to Switzerland.

Rothney represented Queen Elizabeth II, who knighted Chaplin in 1975.

There is now just a hole in the ground, the police official said.

We can tell that the crime occurred during the night because of the freshly dug earth.

Place one place to cemetery under guard, as soon as a theft was discovered.
