Eduardo Cuitiño
Uruguayan writer and mathematician
Eduardo Cuitiño Bosio (born January 28, 1974, in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan writer/author and mathematician known for his investigations and essays on two historic figures: Carlos Gardel and Jack the Ripper.
Career
Graduated from the Science Faculty of the Republic University (UDELAR, Montevideo) in 2001 with a degree on Math with Statistic option, and since then he works as a teacher at the ORT University in Uruguay and works as statistician.
His interest as an investigator relies in connecting history with math and statistics.
Carlos Gardel birthplace dispute
He became known in a reportage of the 'Diario el País de Montevideo' on June 24, 2012, where he exposed that from his calculations Carlos Gardel could not be born in 1890 nor in 1883 or 1884 as it was debated in the moment, but in the early months of 1887.
In May 2012, under the editorial house 'Fin de Siglo', Eduardo Cuitiño published "Gardel el muerto que habla" (Gardel, the dead that speaks) (book that was presented by engineer Juan Grompone along with the author Susana Cabrera ), and were the mentioned Uruguayan author plays with Gardel's favorite number for his gamble, 48, that would be the age that according to him Gardel would have by the time of his death.
In his essay, the mentioned author bases how the particular biology of Carlos Gardel is explained as the result of an incestuous relation between Carlos Escayola and María Leila Oliva, pointing that the presidio of the singer in Ushuaia jail and the falsity of a supposed holographic test. Besides, it is based the existence of another child, truly French and documented, with whom Carlos Gardel was associated to gain his author and image rights, in base of a 1904 document.
Gardel in 1904 was detained in a commissariat in Florencio Varela, and according to the statements in the records, he had a height of 160 centimeters. To reconcile biologically that height with the supposed French boy, the true height should have been 140 centimeters.
Eduardo Cuitiño was interviewed by different press media to that regard, and his thesis on the origin of Carlos Gardel received a strong accolade by taking officially by the Mayor's Office of Tacuarembó Gardel's year of birth 1887, respecting what Gardel in life left in all his documents: Uruguayan, born in Tacuarembó in 1887.

Why this record matters
“Eduardo Cuitiño” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Eduardo, Cuitiño and Uruguayan provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15093807. VIAF identifies the subject as 8579151248012744270002. The Library of Congress control number is no2017155500. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1974, 2001, 2012 and 1890.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
