PER CURIAM.
On motion for rehearing, Appellee directs the court’s attention to certain parts of our opinion which are “factually incorrect.” We agree that paragraph six may be somewhat confusing regarding the evidence presented on the issue of the identity of the body but this does not alter our disposition of this case.
Inspector Schmuel Carmelli testified that during the investigation by the Tel Aviv police department the only persons who viewed the body for identification purposes were a family member and a friend. Two photographs were also taken at the morgue after the corpse’s disfigured face had been cleaned and restructured. One photograph was taken of the body as it appeared at the scene. Several witnesses identified the deceased at trial through the morgue photographs. Apparently, an automobile had run over the deceased, and those witnesses testified that the head was badly damaged.
Appellant’s and Appellee’s motions for rehearing are overruled.
