Man agrees to be buried alive for a good cause

It is difficult for one to brush away uneasy thoughts even when imagining the prospect of being six feet under the ground – while you’re still alive. But one man has no qualms lying down inside a coffin in Belfast for three days just for the sake of charity.

Pensioner John Edwards, who is a former addict, will be live streaming his experience to the website of Walking Free – the charity organisation he set up – and social media as well as continue to receive texts and calls from people.

He hopes that his efforts will help raise awareness about addiction and suicidal behaviour. “My plan is to speak to them from the grave before they get there and show them hope,” he is quoted as saying by Belfast Live.
