Waking up after declared dead?

[life-eternal]

I know it's irrational, but i have extreme fear of waking up after taking SN and being declared dead by doctors. For example waking up in a coffin or before i am about to be cremated. Can you be declared dead and then wake up like 3 days after? Probably stupidest question in history of forum

OMG I HAVE THAT EXACT SAME FEAR!! Could you imagine how terrifying that would be..

 

[life-eternal]

i know! it is the worst thought possible and i keep thinking about it. I think maybe before we die we leave on the note "leave me for 2 weeks in open air in some secluded beach or something to rot before cremating/burying or whatever" >.<

Okay, that's terrifying but as you said, I think they key is staying "dead" for 3 days at least, making sure no one finds you.

Although most people would worry about you if you don't answer any messages before 24 hours.

Kinda tricky I guess but most ppl who ctb by SN, as far as I know, have never woken up/come back to life so personally, I wouldn't worry so much about it.

Haha! I'd rather be cremated, but not wake up alive 12 feet underground in a coffin! That sounds horrifying

If that scenario comes where you are in a coffin, hope it's a wooden or cheap cardboard coffin. And hope you have spmething sharp like a belt buckle or pocket knife. Latter's unlikely... but just hope. If you're buried with a cell phone, hope you have service.

Imma stop you right here, this kind of overthinking will never stop by you finding an answer.

That's why in most countries (maybe all?) they wait 3 days before proceeding with the funeral. It's rare nowadays, but sometimes it just happens that somebody wake up at the morgue, though (I remember a documentary on YT about a lady that died and resurrected at the morgue several times).

Eventually you'd be dead though...suffocating in a coffin underground definitely wouldn't be the most comfortable way to go but it would do the job. Nobody would survive SN and lack of oxygen.
Plus as others pointed out the body always gets stored a couple of days at the mortician, plenty of time to "wake up" and walk out of there.

Fix your face! I know what I said. Having a sharp object will provide a chance in escape. Granted it's not a metal coffin.

Also, hope there is some kinda string, there might be a bell to alert others that you're not dead.

I reckon they would make an autopsy on you to know the cause of death.

With the amount of people dying from Covid and the morgues unable to keep up, they'll most likely keep your body refrigerated for upto a month or more before they carry out cremation or burial.

 

[NeverGoodEnuff]

Aren't most ? bodies that are to be buried enbalmed first? That would do the final job.
