#29 - The Mystery of Charles Coughlin's Coffin
Manage episode 453741256 series 3288720
In our twenty-ninth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Christina Koutsi, Dylan Fairman and Kenton de Jong discuss the life and death of Charles Coughlin, a British actor who is more famous in death than when he was alive.
Coughlin had a colourful life, from messy marriages, summer homes, a fluctuating acting career, and an unfortunate bankruptcy. However, he is more known for the legend that happened after his passing. While in Texas performing The Royal Box, he became gravely ill and passed after a month of sickness. His body would be interred in a temporary grave in Galveston, Texas while his family discussed what to do with it -- should he be buried at his summer home in PEI, or should he be cremated and buried in New York instead?
After a year of discussions, nature made the choice for them, and the incredibly deadly Galveston Hurrican of 1901 struck the city, destroying building, killing thousands, and smashing many mausoleums, including the one Charles Coughlin was resting in. His coffin would then be pulled out into the ocean... and the mystery would begin.
