Vitaly Malyukov a Russian inventor has designed caskets outfitted with alarm buttons for those buried alive by mistake. A person buried alive will have to press that "alarm button" to raise the alarm at a control panel in the office of a cemetery caretaker. The alarm is designed to show which grave have signs of life, so to speak.
Earlier reports suggest that people used to put cell phones in the casket with the dearly departed, with the hope that somehow they would come back to life again. But alas the ringing phones in the casket would turn out to be from people who did not know that the subscriber had been dead!
