Being buried alive might be a bit common. � Creature read in a Book that they were having a funeral service for a Greek Bishop in his church and the Bishop was lying in state in the church. � And suddenly the Bishop sat up and said to the congregation Wot is you all staring at?
Another time the congregation was singing a funeral hymn in a church, and a voice from inside the coffin joined in the chorus.
And here another wot I think is true. � Creature had a friend from County Roscommon. � Over there the corpse lies in bed and everybody goes into the bedroom to pay their respects and say a prayer. � Peter and his friend were on opposite sides of the bed of an old lady wot bent double by arthritis in life. � But she was flat on her back in bed. � Not for long when the naughty boys had undone the buckles of the belt wot kept her strapped down. � You never saw a room empty so fast when the dead old biddy sat up.
And if it not true, it ought to be!  
The first part of an autopsy consists of identifying the decedent, recording the weight and length of the body, describing the appearance of the body from head to toe and back to front, and then detailing the physical signs consistent with death.
Usually, this is a second time the person is declared dead, and done quite scientifically.
Maybe the funeral parlor undertaker can get away with murder, but the pathologist cannot, unless he confabulates the details of his autopsy.  
I was under the impression that the purpose of a post mortem (autopsy) was to determine the cause of death rather than confirm that it had occurred.
But I have also heard of rigor mortis causing a body to sit up, which I imagine would be quite unnerving the first time it is seen.
Well, I learned autopsy from some Very Old old timers, and that is the way it is done properly, and you have to document that you confirmed the existence of death before you plunge into More Interesting Stuff.
I have never seen a dead body do anything other than lie on the table.
I have seen some remarkable causes of death come to light, that were utterly unsuspected by the medical school faculty prior to autopsy, however.
