scientists install the Cameron Vincent's

coffin for research purposes when they

checked the footage they were Beyond

shocked Vincent came from a wealthy

family his father was a real estate Guru

who also loved to collect ancient

artifacts that were worth a lot of money

on the black market his mother was one

of the top surgeons in the country

despite having everything he needed

Vincent was humble he was a man of

integrity who played his part in making

the world a better safer and happy place

when Vincent turned 18 his mother died

of cancer leaving him and his father

alone a few years later his father

remarried a beautiful woman who had a

daughter named Rita from a previous

marriage after the wedding Vincent

decided to follow in his Father's

Footsteps and pursue a career in real

estate and artifact collection he was

quickly successful in these Endeavors

showing a knack for business that he had

inherited it from his dad tragically

Vincent's father passed away after a

brief illness leaving the young man

lonely miserable and lost fortunately

though he had a stepsister and

stepmother by his side for a while

Vincent was skeptical about trusting

them but on many occasions they

demonstrated their love sacrificing

their time resources and happiness to

make Vincent happy and comfortable so he

eventually allowed them into his heart

and it seemed like one of the best

decisions of his life six months after

his father's passing Vincent moved back

into his parents house which he had

inherited he felt empty and guilty for

living elsewhere while his parents's

house stood vacant that's why he chose

to make it his home again the entire

Community was glad to see Vincent back

within a few months the town recorded

tremendous changes schools and roads

were renovated and a small hospital was

built Vincent also made donations to the

less privileged and placed many kids on

scholarships everyone was happy for the

young man and their hearts blessed them

daily that was until one morning when

the residents woke up to the shocking

news that Vincent was dead his

stepsister Rita had gone to visit him

and found his dead body lying helplessly

on the floor despite having a feeling

that he was gone she immediately rushed

him to the hospital in the hope that her

intuition was wrong unfortunately it

wasn't the doctors confirmed that

Vincent was indeed dead despite their

best efforts the doctors couldn't

determine the cause of his death they

explained the situation to Rita and

suggested an autopsy to get a definitive

answer in the nick of time Rita recalled

that her brother had a heart condition

however mild she subsequently provided

medical records diagnosing Vincent with

a cardiac issue and explained that even

though he was taking medication for it

his illness may have been what caused

his death hence she felt there was no

need for an autopsy besides Rita knew

that her brother had always been opposed

to autopsies he felt they violated the

principle of human dignity thus she was

determined not to let them desecrate her

beloved brother's beliefs before leaving

the hospital Rita instructed that her

brother's body be kept in the morgue

till she figured out how to plan for his

funeral throughout the night Rita was

Restless she wanted to honor her brother

one last time so she went on to the

internet to look for ways to do that

that was when she stumbled upon an

article it was a paper about scientists

who were researching the dead they would

place them under supervision for a year

before drawing their conclusions Rita

knew the scientific research was the

perfect way to honor her dead brother

who was passionate about making a

difference in the world that night Rita

contacted the scientists and told them

they could use her brother for their

research they were glad to hear from her

they sent her the necessary paperwork to

sign and they promised her a hefty

compensation fee which Rita promised to

give to the local orphanage early the

next morning Rita organized the funeral

for her brother the church was full

that's the show how much people loved

Vincent before the corpse was placed in

the coffin the scientists fitted the

camera to the sides of the casket this

camera would record and transmit footage

directly to their computers for up to

one year before the batteries ran out to

ensure that they received regular

updates they set the recording time at 7

pm every evening the funeral service was

a solemn Affair lasting up to an hour by

the end of it everyone had swollen eyes

from shedding so many tears after the

funeral Rita went to her brother's house

where she would now start living

meanwhile the scientists were eagerly

awaiting 7 PM when the camera would

record its first footage they all

gathered around the screen with

anticipation to see what it would

capture as soon as the Clock Struck

seven the camera started transmitting a

live feed within seconds of watching it

the scientists let out an astonished cry

what they saw was inexplicable they

immediately made a copy of the video and

hurried out of the lab before heading to

the police station neither of them had

ever witnessed such a frightening

incident the following day around noon

Rita was at her brother's house enjoying

a glass of expensive tequila on the

porch suddenly she heard a siren sound

in the distance and before she could

react a police van pulled up in her

front yard nervously getting to her feet

she hurried over to meet them hello

officer she greeted fainting a smile

even a kid could have seen through the

presents we are here for one misreader

one officer said yes I am Rita how may I

be of help she replied nervously as her

hands began to tremble so she quickly

hid them behind her back even before the

police could State why they were at her

house Rita began acting suspiciously

what are you doing here do you have a

search warrant she said then she quickly

ran to the door and spread her arms wide

blocking the officers from entering

though they hadn't even attempted to go

in yet I know my rights there's nothing

here she continued screaming well what

happened next shocked The Living

Daylights out of her the police officers

told Rita she was wanted at the police

station because they suspected she had

something to do with her brother's death

hearing those words Rita's heart leapt

into her stomach and she immediately

turned pale the glass cup she was

holding slipped from her grasp and

shattered into a hundred pieces at that

moment she knew there was no point lying

and pretending so she decided to confess

hoping the truth would set her free she

confessed that her intention was never

to take her brother's life all she

wanted were the valuable artifacts he

was hoarding she admitted it to adding

extra sleeping pills into his coffee and

searching through the house for them

only to find nothing when she returned

to Vincent's room in an attempt to

threaten him into revealing where they

were located it became apparent that he

wasn't breathing anymore knowing she

would be charged with murder she cooked

up the story about Vincent having a

heart condition and even showed the

doctors fake documents to back up her

claims and to further cover her tracks

she rejected an autopsy and instead gave

Vincent to the scientists for their

research purpose I didn't mean to kill

him it was a mistake Rita pleaded but

just when she thought the situation

couldn't get any worse something else

happened that shocked the Living

Daylights out of her just like something

out of a movie the passenger door to the

police car suddenly came open and

Vincent stepped out of it and towards

his sister who was trembling

uncontrollably Rita was filled with

shock unable to move or even blink she

stood still like a statue desperately

wishing it was all just a nightmare and

that she would wake up the next minute

unfortunately for her it wasn't the

night before the scientists had been

stunned to find Vincent struggling to

escape from his coffin when they viewed

the camera footage the effect of the

sleeping pills had worn off so he woke

up horrified to find himself in a coffin

Six Feet Under the scientists

immediately rushed to the police station

and explained the situation along with

the police officers they dug up

Vincent's coffin and found him alive

struggling to breathe they then rushed

him to the hospital where he was

stabilized turns out Vincent had been

suspecting her stepsister for a while so

he had taken the artifacts to a

warehouse and hid them there Rita

pleaded with her brother to drop the

case but he knew she deserved no mercy

she was eventually charged to court and

sentenced the prison what do you think

about Vincent taking his stepsister to

court thank you.
