A family feud has erupted after the death of wealthy 64-year-old Alamo Heights, Texas resident Gail Weir. Weir died Tuesday of brain cancer and a court order Wednesday has postponed cremation of her body so that an autopsy may be performed. The autopsy was requested by Weir’s children due to what they describe as suspicious circumstances surrounding her death. Weir was cared for by her brothers leading up to her death. Under the will filed in probate, her estate valued at up to $3 million will be split between her children and brothers with her brothers left the majority of her large estate. However, earlier wills left larger portions to her children. Weirs brothers did not object to the autopsy of Weir’s body.
