#1 That Russian Vodka can raise the dead and then kill them again. Potent stuff.

#3 Premature burial became a very big part of the Gothic fad caused by the lethal tuberculosis epidemic. It was such a weird and unpredictable disease, that it about drove people nuts.

It would attack about any internal organ. If it hit the spine, it could put a person into a wheelchair. It could drive another person insane. Some would become hyper-artistic or hyper-sexual. Someone else would look fit as a fiddle then drop dead.

And many had a gray pallor and looked starved, as their digestion had been inhibited.

#4 Oh, and to be relevant, in some people it could cause a deep, intermittent catatonia. For this reason, since they might not feel a pulse, to stick a needle into the hand and hold a mirror under the nose.

And it really didn't help that some healthy, athletic people get strong spasms shortly after death. There are cases where dead people have even jumped off of hospital gurneys.
