tuberculosis – Doyle's Space

Carl Tanzler & Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos

He visited the tomb nightly, claiming he could hear Elena’s voice calling to him and that her spirit wished to be with him.

Carl Tanzler, born Karl Wilhelm Tanzler on February 8, 1877, in Dresden, Germany, is remembered less for his own life than for the disturbing fixation that defined it, a fixation centered on a young Cuban American woman named Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos. After immigrating to the United States, Tanzler settled in Florida and eventually found work as a radiology technician at the U.S. Marine Hospital in Key West.

Carl Tanzler was also known as Count Carl von Cosel
