A 35-year-old Russian computer programmer, who has a small child, has died after persuading a friend to bury him alive for a night, hoping it would bring him "good luck," BBC reported.

The victim dug a hole in a garden in the eastern city of Blagoveshchensk and climbed into an improvised coffin, with holes for air pipes, taking a mobile phone and a bottle of water with him. His friend covered the coffin with earth and then left, after the buried man phoned to say he was fine.

The next morning, he returned to find his friend dead.

According to his friend, the man wanted to test his endurance and insistently asked his friend to help him spend the night buried.（点击英国广播公司网站查看原文）
