The relatives of a pregnant Honduran teenager, who had been
buried after being pronounced dead in a hospital, broke her grave and pulled
out the coffin after apparently hearing screams from within.
One day after his funeral, Perez's boyfriend, Gonzales visited
his glass coffin tomb and heard shouts coming from the box.
Gonzales ran to assist and help break the open tomb of
outdoor concrete, but the moment they did, she was declared dead again. Pérez's
fingertips were bruised, her forehead had scratches and the glass grave was
torn in the region of her face, which is being interpreted as the teenager was
trying to break her way out of the coffin. When his family was finally able to
break the coffin, his mother stated that Perez's body was warm, his color normal
and there was no smell associated with a corpse.
Nelsy Perez, 16, was later transferred to a clinic, still
lying in her coffin and wearing the wedding dress she was about to wear when
she married the father of her unborn child, but the doctors found no signs of
life.
Relatives say they observed signs of fighting on the broken
glass panel of the casket over his face and bruises on his fingers. The videos
of the traumatic event that took place in early July, near the western city of
Copan, have now emerged in a report on Univision television.
The story has been viral all over the world, and it is clear
why: The fear of being buried alive, or tafephobia, is quite common. The fear
was so widespread in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries that security
coffins were invented to help prevent premature burials. Perez's body has been
buried in his original tomb.
