Meriweather Lewis was born on August 18,1774.He was a explorer and soldier. He was leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.On October 11,1809, he died. Some people believe he committed suicide.Some people think he was murdered. No one will really know because the National Park Service will not exhume the body because it goes against their policy.The policy prohibits exhumations unless burial sites are threatened with destruction by park development, operational activities or natural force. The descendants have been trying to get the body exhumed but have not been able to. I'm sure other people would like to know the mystery of the death of Meriweather Lewis.
