A grave protest
A 62-year-old man has been buried alive in a bid to raise awareness of drug addiction.
John Edwards was enclosed in an eight by three foot coffin in the dirt outside River at Tampa Bay Church, in Florida, to highlight the opioid epidemic in the United States and around the world.
According to the Miami Herald, it was John’s third venture underground to bring awareness of people who are suffering.
“I’m determined to bring a message of hope,” he said from five feet under during a Facebook Live interview with the newspaper.
“I pray to God to give me the strength and the perseverance to offer words of wisdom and affirmation from the grave.”
You can view John’s #Gravechat on Facebook Live as well as on his website.
