Summary

 Count Carl von Cosel believed he had met his soulmate when he laid eyes on Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos in 1930. From the start, though, their romance had its share of problems. First, they were both already married, but Carl could easily pretend neither of their spouses existed. Second, Elena had been diagnosed with the then-fatal prognosis of tuberculosis, but even after she died, Carl wasn’t deterred. He simply stole her corpse, made it suitable for cohabitation, and lived with her body for the next seven years until his shocking secret was discovered.Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/carl-tanzler https://www.kqed.org/pop/106807/meet-carl-von-cosel-the-man-who-slept-next-to-his-crushs-corpse-for-7-years https://mbird.com/everyday/digging-up-death-the-macabre-story-of-count-carl-von-cosel-and-us/https://the-line-up.com/carl-tanzler-the-man-who-slept-with-a-corpse https://www.wlrn.org/culture/2018-02-11/a-love-that-would-not-die-key-west-tells-its-most-macabre-legendhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-18/marija-pericic-new-novel-exquisite-corpse-carl-tanzler/102995556 https://www.moas.org/Key-West--Southernmost-USA-6-22114.html https://historyhub.info/twists-in-a-twisted-tale-the-exploitation-defilement-and-murder-of-elena-hoyos/https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/rudolph-valentino https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/plague-gallery/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2820065/#:~:text=Crowded%20into%20tenements%20where%20the,working%20places%20must%20be%20improved. https://www.flickr.com/photos/escriteur/23829890671 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7241456/ https://www.thisamericanlife.org/610/transcript https://iapsop.com/archive/materials/rosicrucian_digest/rosicrucian_digest_v17_n2_1939_mar.pdfhttps://www.kwahs.org/exhibit/ghosts-of-east-martello/ https://www.historicmysteries.com/history/carl-tanzler-in-love-with-the-dead/9617/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11299445/#:~:text=It%20is%20advised%20to%20have,a%20minimum%20value%20of%2098%25. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17434440.2023.2170783#d1e199
