At that time, she received many proposals. This made Mr. Lent realize that if he did not want to lose his "treasure" , only he had to get Julia. In 1857 they married, and although Julia often appeared beside him, he always treated her as a commodity and became increasingly enthusiastic about exploiting it. While traveling through the Netherlands to Russia, Julia realized she was pregnant. On March 20, 1860, Julia gave birth to her first son, a child whose hair was full of feathers and lived only 35 hours. Only five days after the death of her first son, Julia also retired from her life.

To die still has not been quiet

After thinking of her death, Julia will be buried in a solemn manner and will be treated like a lady like she used to. But that did not happen when her husband did not easily ignore the potential of earning money from his wife, even if only a corpse. Lent sold her body and her son to a professor at Moscow University. He performed autopsies and embalmed them for display in the university museum, where they could attract the most visitors.

But that is not the end. Lent took advantage of public outrage, sued the court to bring her body back. And he won the case.

Finally when there were no more people coming to see the corpses, Lent took her body to a person who brought him the highest profit to rent. But it hasn't stopped there yet.

He called this woman Zenora Pastrana. Not long after that, he took Julia's grandmother's body on a tour with his newlywed wife.
