Buried alive: In 19th-century Europe there was so much anecdotal evidence that living people were mistakenly declared dead that cadavers were laid out in "hospitals for the dead" while attendants awaited signs of putrefaction.

Didn't they all put a string down to the coffin that attached to a bell above ground in case they woke up?
