Only three hours after she was pronounced dead, an 82-year-old woman was found to be breathing at a New York funeral home where she had been transported, police said. ...
The unnamed woman from Long Island, N.Y., was declared dead at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday at the Water's Edge Rehab and Nursing Center, according to Suffolk County police. She was transferred to OB Davis Funeral Homes in Miller Place, N.Y., at 1:30 p.m.
She was discovered breathing at 2:09 p.m., police said.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Three mistaken declarations-of-death, in three states, over three years. Is that really that big of a deal?"
I mean, I don't know. It feels like a pretty big deal to me.
If you'd asked me to guess how often this sort of thing happens nowadays, I would have pretty confidently said, "More or less never." Don't they have like machines that can detect if you're dead or not?
Isn't that a standard part of emergency medical care nowadays?
I speculate that the cold refrigerator storage has some sort of suspended animation property that can trigger some ancient genetic response......................
To find out why they ... expired. Yes. That’s why autopsies are done.
1) Its Escapeable! If you suddenly wake up from your comatose state and find yourself in a funeral home you can pop the top off!
2) If you are going to commit your loved one's mortal remains for cremation, there is no reason to use a $5000 walnut coffin. Cardboard will do and your departed will...if they are able to appreciate it...be happy that you are not wasting their remaining resources on funeral expenses but saving them for their survivors.
Ah! I missed this on first read! There you go!
It was used many many years before boxing became famous.
“You may have heard the popular expression “saved by the bell” in reference to the popular ‘90s TV show or because it’s equated to a centuries-old practice in which people were buried with bells in their coffins so they could alert others in case they were inadvertently buried alive.Jan 5, 2023”
Im sticking with my interpetation.
Hmmm...
Both of these sites agree with me that “Saved by the bell” is a boxing term. The second site does mention your coffin theory, in order to debunk it.

Im sticking with my theory. Although your theory has some legitimacy to it also.
