In a small corner of Brazil, the ancient human fear of being buried alive briefly became reality when a woman stirred in her casket during her own funeral service. What should have been a final farewell became instead a rupture in the ordinary order of things — a reminder that even the most solemn of modern certainties, the medical declaration of death, rests on human hands and human fallibility. The incident, rare as it is, asks us to consider how much trust we place in systems, and what it costs when that trust is misplaced.
