Turkish morgue equipped for the living
Officials in a city in rural eastern Turkey, responding to an ancient local fear of being buried alive, have equipped the local morgue with the latest gadgetry in case any of the bodies stored there have been declared dead by mistake. Ref. Source 7
I don't see why this wouldn't be a modern fear too! Who would want to be buried alive? You get up in total darkness and you can't move, so much confusion and little air to breathe! Worst way to go out ever!
