15 People Who Were Buried Alive

7.An Unnamed Russian Blogger

Back in 2010, there was an odd trend in Russia where youngsters bury themselves in coffins for a day or two hoping to get some luck. It was widely believed that doing so will bring them good luck for the rest of their lives. A young blogger from Russia tried the same thing. His friend set him up in a coffin (with an air vent) which was placed two feet under the ground. All this guy posses inside the casket was a bottle of water. When the friend went there next day and opened the coffin, he found his friend was no longer alive. There was a heavy rain the night before which blocked the air vent because of mud. He was dead due to suffocation.

8.Stephen Small

In 1987, Stephen Small, an Illinois based media heir was kidnapped and buried alive in a coffin three feet underground. He was kidnapped by a 30 year old man named Danny Edwards and his girlfriend, demanding big money from Stephen Small's family as ransom. The couple provided him light, air and water via tubes. Stephen was later died because of failure of the tubes.

9.Mr. Cornish

Mr. Cornish was Mayor of Bath (a city in UK). He died from fever, and was buried immediately. When the gravediggers were halfway done digging the grave, they heard moans coming from the coffin. When the gravediggers opened the casket, they found Mr. Cornish to be dead again. He was alive at a point and was dead because of suffocation.
