From Wiki:

In March 1825, during his grand tour of the United States, Lafayette personally laid the cornerstone for the Casimir Pulaski Monument in Savannah, Georgia.[17][49] Remains at Monterey Square in that city, alleged to be Pulaski’s, were exhumed in 1996 and examined in a forensic study.[50] The eight-year examination, including DNA analysis, ended inconclusively, although the skeleton is consistent with Pulaski’s age and occupation. A healed wound on the skull’s forehead is consistent with historical records of an injury Pulaski sustained in battle, as is a bone defect on the left cheekbone, believed to have been caused by a benign tumor.[51] The skeleton also had several female features,[51] which has led to speculation that Pulaski was likely intersex.[52][53][54][55][56] The remains were reinterred with military honors in 2005.[57]

On the other hand, did anyone make sure the skull matched the pelvis? All the key ID features matching him just happen to be on the skull, not the pelvis. It's certainly possible- but then when there is such a huge effort to manipulate research data these days to promote political agendas, and when schools have accepted bribes to pass out parchment to the undeserving, and are so dependent on government grants. I am extra wary of "experts."
