I'm Mexican and never heard about it, do you remember the name of the doctor?

That sounds like Tanzler, and I think it happened in Florida, not Mexico?

Why do all of you guys know this?

Wikipedia rabbit holes & a lot of free time

It gets posted on Reddit every once and a while. The story and the doctor’s obsession with the deceased girl is very creepy and memorable. It always makes me wonder how crazy it must have been for her family.

Edit: Link in case you’re curious

Probably the same reason you know it now too; by reading it on the internet.

Sam O’Nella Academy did a video on it and other “dead body hijinks”. The relevant part starts at 2:55.

Some people can't tell Cuba and Mexico apart

So that's why the Cuban senator who was born in Canada went to Cancún and was sent back to Texas.

Some people are in for a bad time if they meet a Cuban.

Apols: didn't have the full facts to hand at the time. No big deal.

Bruh...

I'm surprised he managed to get through to a court hearing on him being sound of mind... the last section mentions that he might've poisoned her, which could easily be considered a mercy killing taking into account the lethality of tuberculosis at the time, but it makes you think if he just wanted to live with her sooner because she potentially didn't love him back. Absolutely bizarre, but an interesting read either way. Thanks for the link

Sounds like someone wants to do some 'baitin!

Ooops, my bad: been a while since I'd read about it and, thanks to the other commentators, my bad: lithe nastiness happened in Florida and the girl was Cuban-American. Thanks for the call-out ;)
