“I’m not dead!”
“I’m sure she will be soon, she’s very ill.”I’m guessing they just had an extremely weak pulse? I worry that hospitals will start cudgeling patients to make sure! Although I think I’d prefer that to waking up in a buried coffin…
Perhaps we should bring back safety coffins?
I’m just going to get a tv installed in mine
TIL safety coffins existed. Makes sense to me.
Now she is in intensive care in the same hospital where doctors declared her death.
Doesn’t sound reassuring.
Imagine if she gets declared dead in the same hospital twice
Aren’t bodies usually embalmed before funerals? In this case it’s a good thing she wasn’t, but usually it helps avoid the whole being buried alive problem.
I think it often depends on where the funeral is taking place. Where I’m from I don’t think bodies are embalmed.
In some parts of the world embalming is rare, either because of the cost or cultural taboos against it.

Ah yes, my deepest fear…
This is exactly why I want to be cremated.
Ah yes - burned alive
It would be even stranger if she was found breathing in a coffin at someone else’s funeral.
Do they not embalm bodies?
Well that sounds like a shitty experience for sure
For those who skip reading articles: This happened in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The woman was declared dead and immediately placed into a casket. The family arrives hours later to dress her in funeral attire and find her breathing.
