    I had to look this up and it’s (kinda) true. I thought his heart was removed in preparation for embalming or something but no -

    Her husband drowned and his body was found 10 days later. They build a makeshift crematory and burned it on the beach, turning everything to ash except a few pieces of bone and a chunk of… something. Probably not a calcified heart.

    People nowadays don’t think a brittle calcium heart shell could have survived cremation and think it was much more likely to be his liver (which was saturated in salt water).

    Mary and others at the time thought it was his heart so it doesn’t change the story at all. Just thought others might be interested, too

      Pretty sure her husband was her dads friend, and she was significantly younger. They had to leave due to persecution.

      Probably just grooming IMO.

        She met her husband when she was 16 and he was 21 so… kinda but I don’t think it’s quite as creepy as “grooming” typically implies given the time period. At least he wasn’t 45

          I stand corrected. Although I thought I had her figured out. Like SA at yoing age and marrying the perp make her wprk make sense.

          She dark fr.

            Both her and her husband’s wiki page are full of bad stuff happening so I get it
