Nearly Buried Alive
The Southern Echo (Southampton) YepoTted an extraordinary case of suspended animation:"'.* On '-the*. night of Thursday, the sth December, the Rev. Wyke Bayliss, rector of Uphain, Hants, gave a reading at a concert in the village. He. had hardly resumed his seat when he fell forward, and carried from* the room dead, it was supposed, from heart disease. On Wednesday Oanon Lee, of Botley, *went?to TJpham 'to' bury his frieud\ at whose face irafßook a last look before preparing to go to> the- church. He was struck by the lifelike appearance and at*. once thought there was some ■hope that life- was not- extinct.' He therefore declined to conduct the burial service, and urged that medi--cal advice should be obtained. Two -doctors were called, who examined the 4>ody, and declared the heart beating.
