Battle over Thorpe's body continues

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 16:12

The battle to keep the remains of famed athlete Jim Thorpe in his namesake town is being revived.



The fight began in 2010.



Thorpe's body is currently laid to rest in Jim Thorpe, Carbon County but his relatives have been trying to move the remains to Oklahoma.



Earlier this year a federal appeals court ruled Thorpe's remains would stay where they are.



This week, Thorpe's family filed a new petition asking for a re-hearing on the matter.



There is no word yet on when that hearing could take place.
