A week later her real father, Louis Emmanuel Crachami, a musician at the [[Theatre Royal, Dublin]], arrived in London and began legal attempts to retrieve his daughter's body for burial. He claimed to have consulted Dr. Gilligan in Dublin about Caroline's health. Gilligan apparently prescribed a trip to a drier climate, and offered to take Caroline to London if he could exhibit her to cover the costs of the trip. After her eath he attempted to sell her body for anatomisation, then left London with the proceeds of the exhibition.
