Being buried alive is one of the most horrible feelings a human being can ever face. When you are buried alive, you can't breathe or break free. As you struggle to breathe, your body runs out of oxygen creating indescribable pain throughout the body, and make you helplessly beg for death. Yes, those few moments of deep suffocation are highly painful.
Unfortunately, many people were buried alive throughout the history because of a mistake, or as a result of a crime or a punishment. Here are fifteen people who were buried alive.
7.An Unnamed Russian Blogger

Back in 2010, there was an odd trend in Russia where youngsters bury themselves in coffins for a day or two hoping to get some luck. It was widely believed that doing so will bring them good luck for the rest of their lives. A young blogger from Russia tried the same thing. His friend set him up in a coffin (with an air vent) which was placed two feet under the ground. All this guy posses inside the casket was a bottle of water. When the friend went there next day and opened the coffin, he found his friend was no longer alive. There was a heavy rain the night before which blocked the air vent because of mud. He was dead due to suffocation.
