A man died on March 5th 1972 and was buried on March 4th 1972. How come ?

I thought possibly,
(1) He died at sea and when the ship crossed the international date line, therefore losing a day, he was buried at sea.
or
(2) He was buried under rubble or a mine collapse and died from his injuries the next day.

Does anyone have any alternative aswers ?

couple of silly ideas.
1 he died on concord and his religion stated that he must be buried immediatly he was on lande ( only just poss but extremely far-fetched!

2. He was burried by mistake (ie still alive) and when realised the following day he was exhumed but just too late to save him!

sorry if wasted your time . basically i don't know, but your international date line seems good... but again there must be a reason to rush the interment.

He wasn't David Blain (or Blane) was he ?

Thanks Thakey,
I'm clutching at straws. All the questions are based on fact, usually on a lateral thinking level.Maybe the date has some significance.
I'll have to wait until tomorrow for the answer.

I think your second idea is pretty good - another meaning for buried.

It can't be to do with Concord - it didn't start flying commercially until 1976

Thanks for pointing that out FoxLee'2' - i knew that and assumed he was a test pilot?/ LOL
