Just heard about this, she was buried in the tomb for a full day and the family heard her screams then smashed it open but she died later in hospital.
Fuck that
Honduras teenage girl wakes up in coffin after being buried ALIVE by mistake | Daily Mail Online
Like an Edgar Allen Poe story geez
Shocking stuff,they used to have bells on headstones on strings that lead into coffins in the old days because people used to get buried alive a fair bit back then.
Never knew that, there must have been loads over the years.
Gotta be one of the worst ways to die being buried alive in a tiny box trying to get out then realising your stuck.
Think being buried alive is bad?.......

Crazy to think that even today they just put you in a box. No coroner or funeral? Terrible way to die and tragic irony. Getting to her in time only to lose her and burial all over again.
They said she may have been in a coma and not died. You would think a doctor could tell. She was in her wedding dress and only 16. the family must have been elated when they saw she was alive only for them to see her die for a second time. Very harsh and sad.
The Aussie term 'dead ringer'came to mind then, so had to Google the term. There was mention of the other expression 'saved by the bell.'Quote:

They were obsessed with dying in the grave a few hundred years ago and can up with all these contraptions. I am sure this is how vampire and zombie legends were created.Quote:
