** ''ComicBook/KravensLastHunt'': Having been driven completely AxCrazy, Kraven confronts Spidey, shoots him wtih a tranquilizer dart, buries him alive and then impersonates him. Spidey eventually digs his way out, but it takes ''a week'', due to Spidey having to recover from the paralysis that leaves him [[AndIMustScream still conscious and unable to move.]] Indeed, this experience clearly gave him nightmares for years to come, as every time Kraven was mentioned from that point on focuses on that event.

* The "king" of Qarth in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' gets this ending. He's locked in a rather spacious treasure vault with his girlfriend, and no food or water. This is a rare heroic version of it, as they both [[JerkassVictim truly deserved it]]. [[spoiler:He sold out his honored guests to someone who not only killed the town leaders, but tried to steal their dragons (and either kill them or keep them there forever); she betrayed the mistress she'd sworn to serve for life by helping him do it.]] They did all of this under the guise of trying to help the heroes, when they really wanted was riches with which to fill said vault)...making this very much a KarmicDeath.

* UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington used his last words to tell his niece not to bury him for at least two days after his death, in order to ensure he was actually dead. Such instructions was fairly common at the time, where the corpse would be laid out until it started to show obvious signs of decomposition.
