EDIT: It deals with being buried alive.

[longhornwino0907]

Wait. What?!!?!

Noooooooooo!

I just... I can't. Even.

Also, is this for real?!

[icaughtfire]

So the zombie apocalypse is starting like this? Not what I imagined.

[joy]

Okay. I'm glad your reactions are equally as "wtf did I just read?" as mine.

OMG. Whut?

[ceejay]

That is terrible. Such a sad story.... Is it seriously for real?!?

Can't. Can't deal. Nope. nope nope npeo noepenpenfepnfpeonfeofijsdlfja;sdnfva;oifrjgva'pdjgafdhalkdhg

I'm really sad for her family, though. Her mom's right -- they rushed signing that death certificate waaaaay too fast based on a whole lot of nothing.

[pismoduo]

Holy hell. Part of me is completely in disbelief - could it be that the husband and her family were so distraught that they imagined it?

But then part of me thinks that it's entirely possible that she was incorrectly pronounced dead, especially if it was a rural village, possibly without the best healthcare options.

Either way, how horrific for the family.

Oh Primer Impacto.... Of course they were the ones to be all over this story. They are like The National Enquirer of Latin American news.

With the broken glass/new bruises on her face and fingers, I highly doubt it was their imagination.  The gravekeeper also heard it, he just thought it was something else.

Definitely incorrectly pronounced dead.

Good point. I must have glossed over the part about the bruises. The way I originally read it, it seemed like that wasn't confirmed.

One of her relatives (her cousin, I think?) also said that she was still warm and could feel a faint pulse when they got to her.  How true that is remains to be seen.

.......so if they think the first time they accidentally said she was dead it was because she had a panic attack that caused her to APPEAR dead.....wouldn't they think maybe waking up in a coffin may be enough to make that happen again and they may, again, be mistaken?

This whole story is just wtf?

That is what I thought too! The part about the panic attack causing your heart to stop seems weird to me "Doctors believe Ms Perez may have suffered a severe panic attack which could have temporarily stopped her heart activity.
", has anyone else ever heard of that? It sounds more like the poison Romeo and Juliet used. 

[mcktymck]

OMG No. No no no. I can't even imagine how terrifying that would have been, or both the girl AND her family. I'm guessing the medical field in Honduras is not as advanced as it is here...at least I'd like to hope nothing like that would ever happen here.

How horrible! This is why I'm being cremated.

Premature burial was pretty common back in the day due to diseases and conditions that sometimes mimicked death.

[cheshie6]

I'm confused as to why she wasn't embalmed! Otherwise, before embalming we used to bury people with a string attached to their hands so that should they wake up, they ring the bell and would be dug up!

[Daikoku]

joy! Warning please!

Super disturbing.

Yessss. Being buried alive is probably my greatest (albeit irrational) fear. That and being lost at sea....

What kind of warning?  Death?  Claustrophobia?  I'm not sure which one (being serious).

Maybe just "generally disturbing"?

Agreed. This is like yesterday, I was browsing the clearance shelves at a bookstore and unwittingly found a Scary Stories book. Just the cover illustration made my skin crawl. ::shudder::

makes me wonder if it's a true story. I didn't watch the video though.

I am sure there is truth behind the story, they just always dramatize everything to the max. They also always seem to be preying on people of lower socioeconomic statuses. Primer Impacto does not have a rep of being the most reputable new source, they just thrive on sensationalism. 

[ldubhawksfan]

WTF?! That is crazy.
