Screaming could be heard coming from the coffin (not pictured) after it was buried (Picture: Getty)
A cemetery worker got the fright of his life when he heard a woman screaming from inside her buried coffin.

The man told police he could hear muffled shouts and banging coming from the plot of a 49-year-old woman who had been pronounced dead and buried that day.

Workers and cemetery visitors frantically dug up the coffin and smashed it open, however they were too late and the woman had died.

Police visited the Peraia cemetery near Thessaloniki in Greece, however a doctor who examined her body at the scene claimed she had been dead for hours and could not have possibly been buried alive due to her advanced state of rigor mortis.

The doctor, Chrissi Matsikoudi told Greek television channel MEGA: ‘We did several tests including one for heart failure on the body.’

A coroner will be carrying out a separate examination on the body.

Police say the woman, a mother of two who suffered from cancer, cannot be named until the post mortem is carried out.

Relatives of the woman say they are considering filing a complaint against the doctors who first pronounced her dead.

To think, she could have been fried alive had she been cremated.

That's what happens when you bury them so quickly.

To be honest, I'd be inclined to believe the doctor who says she had been dead for hours and couldn't have been buried alive over the cemetery worker who "heard muffled shouts"...

Greece seems a good place to organise funerals, just pop them in a coffin 2 or 3 hours after they die. No hassle, I like it.

Except you miss out the stage where they add chemicals to the body, which preserve the deceased until the funeral, meaning, if you weren't dead when you were pronounced dead, you'd be dead long before you're six feet under.
