There is no shortage of OBL siblings and offspring. DNA testing would be very easy and conclusive. I'd bet money that it will be released in a few weeks when complete.
I'd also bet money that pictures exist. After the fallout from the Saddam video, it will never be made public.
There is nothing to be gained by holding onto his body. It's a huge liability from a public relations perspective. Dumping it into the ocean and quoting Islamic sensibility makes more sense. At least we learned something from Saddam's execution.
