About this person
Wikipedia SummaryRufina Cambaceres was the sole heiress to a large fortune derived from cattle ranching in Argentina. In 1902, at the age of 19, she was found apparently lifeless, and buried in the family vault in Buenos Aires. After her interment, noises were heard from the tomb, and she was subsequently discovered to have been buried alive. Since her premature burial, she is popularly known as "the girl who died twice"; her tomb is one of the most famous in La Recoleta Cemetery.
