[edit] Is this true?

I read the following about him:

• He was born on Prince Edward Island. He died and was buried in Galveston, Texas. On 8 Sep 1900 a flood disinterred the coffin, which floated out into the Gulf Stream in the Gulf of Texas. In October 1908 it reached Prince Edward Island, Coghlan's home, and the plate on the coffin was recognised by fisherman as the Charles Coghlan they had known.

Q. Is this true? We currently say he was born in Paris. Both versions can't be right. JackofOz 08:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling of his name

Coughlan, not Coghlan. I'm watching a show called Unexlained Canada, about Charles Flockton and Charles Coughlan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.36.252 (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
