Haile Selassie

The last Ethiopian emperor was exhumed in 1992 after it was discovered that his body had been buried under a toilet. Haile Selassie ruled Ethiopia for 45 years and was recognized by the Rastafarians as a living god. He was overthrown in 1974 by military dictator Mengitsu Haile Miriam and died after a year in prison. He may have been killed by his captors. In 2000, 25 years after his death, his body was reburied in Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa.
