10 Chilling Stories Of People Who Were Buried Alive

10. Rosangela Almeida Dos Santos

A recent incident that gained significant media traction due to its horrifying nature, the 37-year-old Rosangela Almeida Dos Santos was thought to have died of septic shock on 28 January 2018.

As a result, funeral arrangements were prepared and the ceremony took place in the town of Riachao das Neves, located in the northeast of Brazil.

However, residents who lived near the burial site reportedly began to hear screams coming from Santos' tomb, according to Brazilian news site G1.

Video footage shows her coffin being retrieved, and upon opening it, Santos' dead body was found with bloody injuries on the hands and forehead, evidence of the fact that the woman had tried to force her way out of her grave. She was estimated to have been trapped for 11 days.

Those involved have since been accused of needlessly violating Santos' resting place, after doctors claimed it was impossible for them to not notice the woman was alive before she was buried.

Because of how recently this all took place, only time will tell who's really at fault here.
