A US widow-Elsie Poncher of Beverly Hills is auctioning off the burial plot occupied by her late husband above that of film legend Marilyn Monroe.Bidding opened at $500,000 (£303,000), and had reached $700,000 today.
Mrs Poncher said she will be "vacating" the remains of her husband "to make room for a new resident" at LA's exclusive Westwood Village cemetery.
Richard Poncher - who died 23 years ago at the age of 81 - was said to be a successful businessman who worked hard, spent lavishly, and knew "all the gangsters" of LA.
The cemetery is the final resting place of many celebrities, including Dean Martin, Roy Orbison, Truman Capote, and most recently Farrah Fawcett.
