Biography
American triplet; one of three boys who were separated at birth, each adopted with no knowledge of the others. Ironically, they grew up living less than an hour apart in distance. Eddy went to college in 1979 and left the following year. His brother Bob then entered the same college. Classmates called him by Eddy's name and they put it together. When they met, they searched for and found their third brother for a joyful reunion.
All three were stocky and powerfully built, warm and friendly and fine looking men. They went into the restaurant business together.
Eddy Galland committed suicide on 16 June 1995, aged 33, at his Maplewood, New Jersey home. He was survived by a wife and a young daughter.
Three Identical Strangers is a 2018 documentary film, directed by Tim Wardle, about them, a set of identical-triplet brothers adopted as infants by separate families. Combining archival footage, re-enacted scenes, and present-day interviews, it recounts how the brothers discovered one another by chance in New York in 1980 at age 19, their public and private lives in the years that followed, and their eventual discovery that their adoption had been part of an undisclosed scientific "nature versus nurture" study of the development of genetically identical siblings raised in differing socioeconomic circumstances.
