Upon closer inspection, he found scratch marks on the inside of the lid and on the young woman's face, indicating Rufina had been buried alive.

However, in a possible case of urban legend, it has also been claimed that her body was found next to the door, and that she had managed to get out of her coffin and, upon realising she was trapped in a mausoleum in the middle of the night, she suffered a heart attack.
