Time to attach electronic bells on the toes of deceased people in case of such?

It was the only "treatment" allowed under Obamacare.

Terrifying. I have mild claustrophobia, so this story has haunted me since hearing about it last night.

I don’t think claustrophobia is required to be thoroughly creeped out big time by this story.

The headline says she froze before struggling to escape. How did she struggle to escape after freezing to death?

I would be haunted by the guilt if I had anything to do with her tragic ending. It was actually the fault of the coroner or whoever the last examining physician was. Sometimes the vital signs can be so very subtle, that they are missed. This is the second or third time I’ve heard of Wrongful Interments this year.

Should we go back to what they did during the civil war era. The morticians were concerned about a high number of Wrongful Interments, so for a small fee, a little bell was installed inside the wooden coffin. The idea was, if the body was only sleeping, and not quite Dead-dead, they could tinkle a little brass bell and alert all parties concerned. Can you imagine being that gravedigger and you start ‘hearing bells?’ Bring your own smelling salts, so’s you don’t faint ‘dead’ away from the shock!
