Beatrice Ljungqvist

Beatrice Ljungqvist was a resident of St. Olaf and the wife of Gustav Ljungqvist. One day, Gustav became ill, and everyone believed that he died and buried him.

At the cemetery, Beatrice kept screaming, "He's alive, he's alive! I can hear him from the grave!" Everybody thought it was the hallucinations of a grieving widow, so they sedated her. However, after recovering from his illness, Gustav awoke in the coffin and yelled out, "We never paid our '78 through '86 income taxes," and Beatrice heard him.

When Beatrice recovered from her sedation, she convinced everyone to return to the cemetery and dig up Gustav's coffin. However, they discovered that Gustav had died of suffocation due to being buried alive.
