Dead Cert
‘WHEN its time to go, its time to go but theres nothing worse than being shuffled off this mortal coil prematurely.
That is why a cemetery in Santiago, Chile is offering its clients coffins with a sensor that detects any movement inside them to avoid anyone being buried alive.
A spokesperson for the Camino A Canaan cemetery: ‘We want to be pioneers and avoid catalepsy cases, in which a person gets completely paralysed for a few hours and ends up buried as if they were dead.
‘We want families to rest assured that if a case like this ever happens their loved ones will be immediately rescued.’
And of course its good business for the cemetery, which gets to bury the deceased a second time ’
