Rufina Cambaceres

Rufina Cambaceres (also spelled Cambacérès) (31 May 1883 – 31 May 1902) 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.

Recoleta Cemetery
An elegant last resting place for eminent residents. The elaborate tombs were built above ground because the bodies would float to the surface in the marshy land. Home to Eva Perón and other dignitaries. Tombs that have fallen into disrepair are often not maintained, so be prepared to see a few coffins! Well worth a visit.
