Petrified corpse affair shocks Niagara Falls locals
In Niagara Falls Ontario, a disinterment attempt revealed the body of Mrs. Collins, who died by self-inflicted throat wound in March 1888, perfectly petrified with features intact and clothes vanished. The coffin filled with water fractured as workers attempted removal, leaving a stonelike, calcareous figure weighed over eight pounds. Nearby disputes between cemeteries and a late husband’s deathbed wish fueled the sensational scene witnessed by many.
