Timo Tolkki has spoken publicly about the death of his mother-in-law Antonie Zacpalova, a woman remembered as a former love of Czech singing legend Karel Gott. Her death and funeral quickly became tabloid material, given her place in the story of the late singer. According to Tolkki, he personally covered the cost of laying her to rest. The headline of the report also points to a mystery over her body disappearing, which has supposedly been cleared up. Confusion over remains and funeral arrangements often follows when family ties stretch across marriages and old relationships, and this case seems to fit that pattern. The short item offers little detail on what exactly happened to the body or how the puzzle was resolved. Tolkki, a Finnish guitarist known for his long run with the metal band Stratovarius, is better known to Czech readers through his connection to the Gott saga than through music. His statement reads as an effort to set the record straight about who was responsible for the funeral.
