DNA tests on the exhumed body of Salvador Dali have proved that the Spanish woman who brought a legal case is not the surrealist artist's daughter.

According to a statement released on Wednesday by Dali's foundation the court supervising the tests had informed its lawyers that the woman, Maria Pilar Abel, was not Dali's biological daughter.

A spokesman for the court declined to confirm the results of the DNA tests.
