Bleiler asserts that this is not a pseudonym for Charles Cloutier, as others have asserted. Cloukey was only 16 when his first story was published, and was an Edison Scholarship finalist for Pennsylvania in 1931. No details were given by Bleiler concerning his young death, but obituaries on Find a Grave give the cause of his death as "intestinal infection" (Philadelphia Inquirer) and "typhoid fever" (Wilkes-Barre Evening News).
