I saw a small news feature recently about a request to exhume the body of Harry Houdini. Apparently a nephew of the magician has reason to believe that his famous ancestor died as the result of poisoning rather than an accident.
Now, imagine this . . . they dig up the coffin, open it up, and there's no body inside or the body that is found inside isn't his.
Think about it-- with all the urban myths about celebrities who faked their deaths and are living out the rest of their lives on some tropical island, who would be better prepared to pull off such a stunt than a master magician like Harry Houdini?
Prediction: somebody is probably working up a screenplay treatment on this right now.
