A Sri Lankan man has died
while trying to break an
informal local record for the
longest time spent being
buried alive, police say. Janaka Basnayake, 24, allegedly
buried himself with the help of
family and friends in a trench
sealed with wood and soil in the
town of Kantale. The government has urged the
public not to attempt similar
"high risk events". Mr Basnayake went
underground on Saturday
morning, and was pronounced
dead the same afternoon, police
say. Doctors say that a post-mortem
examination has not determined
the cause of death and further
medical investigations are being
conducted. Local newspapers say that the
trench in which Mr Basnayake
was buried was 10ft (3m) deep. His family say he was buried
alive on two previous occasions
- for two and a half hours and
six hours respectively. Correspondents say it is unclear
whether there is an official
world record for the longest
time buried alive.

ogun idile? Who's fault is this?

"His family say he was
buried
alive on two previous

- for two and a half hours and
six hours respectively."
It means that he has been trying this before but now, he failed.

This begs the question, will the burial-alive record set at the time of this gentleman's death hold, given that he actually died ?

I think this can be done if the actual time of his death can be determined

Only people with Goodluck sounding names should attempt this record next time.
