Exactly. You’re right. It’s not the 1700s-1800s.
One way they tried to solve the mystery of the great blues artist Robert Johnson’s death was to estimate which of the versions would comply with a nearby burial before the dead body would stink and decompose——before refrigeration and embalming methods later one.
George Washington told the last person to hear him that he wanted him to make doubly sure he was dead. They say Washington was very focused on his “taphophobia: the fear of being buried alive.”
Given what George went through medically in his life, its understandable.
If George Eashington were alive today he would day” Help,get me out of this box..” 😁
That was Tobias Lear.
