Some poor woman has ended up in the morgue several times because of a sleeping disorder she has that makes her appear to be dead. Both times she was just lucky enough to wake up before they gave her an autopsy or shipped her off to the funeral home. So it may be more unlikely to be buried alive these days, but it’s not impossible to be declared dead when you’re not.

[@Kim-Unearthed]

The story about the baby absolutely broke me! Not only do I have 4 daughters (all grown now) but my oldest 23 year old daughter just brought my first grandbaby into the world only 5 months ago and he's brought sooo much light back into my world. I couldn't ever have imagined doing something so horrendous to my own girls nor would I ever, ever allow something like that to be done to my grandson. If one of my girls ever decided they didn't want to or couldn't care for my grandchildren (which wouldn't happen), they know full well I would take my grandbabies in and raise them in a heartbeat, without question. Heck, I already care for my grandson everyday during the week while my daughter works! Shame on that poor baby's family for doing what they did to him or standing by and allowing it just because he had a medical abnormality; not to mention one that can even be fixed! As a grandparent I'd be asking questions immediately if I haven't seen my grandbaby in a day or two! Humanity disgusts me more and more as time goes on. That poor innocent baby! It's so good to know he was rescued and is alive and well these days!

[@tortillabag]

I can relate to you. Well, to your daughter (technically). I just had my son. He just turned 4 months! I can't even imagine. I cried while watching them draw blood from him while he was in the NICU (it's a way worse process than I ever thought). My mom is a lot like you, ha. She loves my son, and I know I can depend on her for anything. If she got silence from me for more than a day, she would definitely start calling me and making sure we're okay. Also, congratulations to your family! I hope your daughter's recovery and life post partum have gone very well and that your grandbaby is healthy and happy. Babies are some of the most beautiful things in the world.

[@ferrisbueller9991]

This sort of empathy is essential, actually instinctual, to combat the modern day propositions of eugenics, like finding out the baby in its last term has down's syndrome and killing it, and the possibility that post-birth abortions may become normalized in the US. Pro-choice people say they don’t happen. They do happen. If you pull up the records they will than say it is rare. Yeah, not rare enough. Even if it is relatively rare it is still a growing practice. We are beginning to emulate the Chinese by essentially putting babies in medical waste bins instead of dumpsters.

[@mynameisworld]

Congratulations on the grandbaby!

[@filipkyselica8041]

There is a castle not terribly far from where I live. In the 18th century, the 23-year old son of the noble family who lived there died of plague and was buried in the family crypt. Several days later when the crypt was opened for a routine cleanup, they found his body lying next to the exit of the crypt with his hands chewed off. This obviously indicated that he was unfortunately buried alive. After this, his brother took a serious interest in medicine, especially the study of clinical death. He even opened a hospice in the village under the castle. This video reminded me of that story.

Underground is well insulated from the cold, so the warmth of the body could be a result of that. Also the position being different, the injuries, the cotton out of her nose, could all be a result of mishandling of the burial process or a result of the frantic pulling of the coffin out of the ground (rocking the coffin around too much when lowering it into the grave for example). So I don't think the mother is lying I just think she is confused and upset. A very tragic situation for everyone.

[@sirsomeone2408]

To make the whole thing worse: if you are buried alive and wake up, your mouth would probably be sawn shut, you would have caps in your eyes to keep them close, and all your orifices would be closed. This is how they typically prepare a dead body for the funeral. Imagine the horror.

There was another case of a woman buried alive in Brazil that ended up in her being rescued, the woman had sort of link with drug trafficking and supposedly lost some drugs that two men gave her, these two men beat her, took her to a local cemetery and put her inside an vertical grave popularly called "drawer", then they cemented the opening of the drawer and let her there. Then some time after that, gravekeepers heard someone asking for help, broke the wall sealing the grave and called the emergency.

[@senny-]

Holy crap, that's terrifying.

[@SakuraAsranArt]

The majority of cases where people were mistakenly alive occurred before modern techniques for monitoring vital signs were developed. Angela died in a hospital under the care of doctors with access to modern medical devices for monitoring vital signs, so I find it difficult to believe that they made a mistake. Sadly, however, these mistakes do still happen in places without access to such devices or in communities were proper medical care is beyond their means due to poverty. This does still happen in modern times, we just don't usually hear about it because it happens in poor, isolated communities in countries were poverty is endemic.

What i can say about it is the way our deceased are buried here in Brazil is that usually they are not "buried", I.e. dirt isn't put in the hole. They just build that cement structure that keep the smell away, and that's all. That's what makes this whole story somewhat believable because oxygen could easily enter into that grave. But yeah, too many details don't add up to make it fully believable. But great video as always! Ps: I would love to watch a video of yours about the Goiânia's Cesium-137 radioactive disaster!

So this is funny cause I’m Brazilian and I thought you were about to tell the case that happened in Brazil this year. On 28th March of this year a 36 old woman was found burried alive in Visconde do Rio Branco in Brazil. She was found alive and severely injured, but survived since she was only stuck for some hours. You can read the case further in G1 Globo too.

[@luminolmortis5927]

very interesting video! although it did happen in history and even recently in modern times, premature burial definitely didn't happen by accident as much as people think it did even before advances in embalming and medicine. i was interested to learn that before there was a higher understanding of how decomposition works, sometimes natural activity of the body due to decomposition was seen as evidence that the person had been alive and trying to get out of the coffin, which resulted in many false claims of premature burial in the past.

When you pronounced the name of the city I thought it was somewhere like Mexico, only when I heard they speaking I realized immediately that it was in Brazil. Her nails were loose because the body was buried for ELEVEN DAYS when that happened the body was decomposing not as expected but enough for that (it was very cold on those days). The police said that there was no hurt hands or wrists as alleged. All the people involved in the removal of the body are already answering a legal process for violation of a grave as you theorized. Thanks for precisely reporting the facts and not like many retelling the urban legend.

[@ScareTheater]

Totally agree! But want to specify real quick that they said the nails on the coffin were loose. Not the nails on the body.

[@njmfff]

People being buried alive by accident or falling in so-called "clinical death" isn't too uncommon, this is the very reason why there's tradition of not burying the deceased for three days, and people watching over the coffin\body for three days in case they wake up. It's just that these days most of us aren't dying from natural death anymore, it's either violent death, illness or result of some self-destruction (alcoholism, drug abuse, etc)

As somebody who’s slightly claustrophobe due to being well above average height and having a bit of a difficult time day to day as a result, this is probably the peak of that fear, especially given how nightmarishly and borderline impossible it would be to get back out. You’re basically guaranteed to end up actually belonging in that coffin if other people don’t know you’re still alive and rescue you

[@scienceonabudget]

Adding to the comments from the people in the video when the man says the body is smelling bad, the lady that can be heard says "ta mole, mole", which means the body was soft, with no muscle tone.

Organs are only removed if the dead person was a donor and an autopsy is only done if there's suspicion of foul play. Other than that, depending on the dead person's wishes, they either bury them within a few days or incinerate them immediately; otherwise, they embalm them (that is, drain their blood and replace it with embalming fluid) and keep them around for a viewing and/or funeral before burying them.
