Carl Tanzler was a bacteriologist who fell in love with one of his patients, Elena Milagro de Hoyos.
When she died from tuberculosis, Tanzler dug up her body and kept the corpse in his home for 7 years, binding the rotting body together with wire and wax.
After the authorities discovered his unusual living arrangement, Tanzler was arrested but no charges were brought as the statute of limitations had expired.
In a further act of worrying obsession, Tanzler then created a life size mannequin copy of Hoyos and lived with his 'love' right up until his death.
