Death By Coffin of the Day

Jun. 2, 2011

Death By Coffin of the Day

Death By Coffin of the Day: Seeking to gain luck for life, a Russian man from Blagoveshchensk asked a friend to bury him alive. When his friend returned the next day, he found the man dead.

“According to his friend, the man wanted to test his endurance and insistently asked his friend to help him spend the night buried,” said a senior aide to the region’s chief investigator.

The 35-year-old computer programmer brought a cell phone and water bottle with him and poked holes in the makeshift coffin for breathing tubes, but it is believed heavy rains overnight plugged the tubes up.

Apparently “supervised self-burial” is a growing trend in Russia, and investigators speculate the man was likely influenced by stories he read online.
