High Court rules exhumation of Christchurch man Jamie Pooley's body would be 'deeply distressing'SUPPLIED Jamie Pooley, a promising rugby league player, took his own life in 2011. Pooley's family opposed the action, claiming his spirit was at rest and disturbing his body would breach tikanga (Maori custom). Justice Gerald Nation dismissed Biddle's application, saying an exhumation would be "deeply distressing" to Pooley's family.
