I recently read that the Big Bopper's remains will be exhumed to put to rest once and for all the rumours that a gun was fired during the flight. Evidently, when Buddy Holly's pistol was recovered at the crash site it had been recently fired.
The exhumation will also try to determine whether or not the Bopper died immediately or some time later. His remains were discovered some distance away from the crash site, and some feel that he may've been walking for help before he perished.
