Stone Willie's "got rights"; no longer on display

... DNA testing might help the still unclaimed Stone Willy, a 100+-year old petrified man at a funeral home in Reading, PA. We called to see if we could stop by and look at him. "He got rights," said the woman who answered the phone. What? He got ripe? "No, he got rights, privacy rights." Apparently they aren't displaying Stone Willie to the public, or at least not to us.
