Buried Alive: When the System Fails Irreversibly

Buried Alive: When the System Fails Irreversibly: The Murder and Negligence of Nacie Pérez August 2015, Honduras. A young pregnant woman wakes up inside a coffin sealed with cement, desperately banging for over 24 hours. Her husband presses his ear to the block and hears her screaming. But the doctors who declared her dead did not make a simple mistake: it was the total collapse of three systems that failed simultaneously. In this episode, we explore three cases of judicial, medical, and familial negligence that intertwine: a woman pursued for 22 years by a charge she never knew she had, a man who places his dead partner on the couch for his daughters to open Christmas gifts, and a teenager buried alive whose asphyxiation occurs minutes after being rescued. Each story reveals deep cracks in the pursuit of justice.
