A man identified as Young C has embarked on a challenge to be buried alive in a coffin for 24 hours.
He made this known in a post on his Instagram page on Wednesday, stating that the stunt was genuine and not a hoax.
He announced his intention to broadcast live footage from the coffin at night.
Sharing the video on his Instagram account on Wednesday, he said:
“I am going to be spending the next 24 hours buried in this casket. Guys, this is real, not fake.
“And the most amazing part is that I am going to go live at night”
In a subsequent update Young C revealed that he had been buried for over eight hours and was experiencing excessive sweating.
In an update on Wednesday evening, he said in part, “Guys, I have been buried alive for 8 hours now. For those of you who saw my first video, I have been down here. As you can see, my camera is still rolling, and I have my light down there, I am sweating guys”.
The feat is reminiscent of a similar challenge undertaking by the American YouTube personality, Mr Best (Jimmy Donaldson).
