You cant Die Here Says Norway

[Nightcleaner]

A set of islands in Norway has the bizarre law that makes it illegal for people to die.

Longyearbyen, a coal-mining town on Spitsbergen Island, is one of the most Northern parts of the world that are inhabited, to 2,000 locals.

If you die there do they arrest you ?

 

[ETLS]

At least they won't execute you.

At least they won't execute you.

Maybe not but you could still spend the rest of your life in jail.

Apparently, it's too cold for nature to "take it's course" post-mortem with burial, and what deadly communicable disease did you in, like Dracula, will lie dormant naturally cryro-preserved but not dead, to rise if disturbed to kill again.

They kick you in the "ice hole" and sing "freeze a jolly good fellow"

Well if they do, @ least it won't be a cardiac arrest, though it might be for exhibiting signs of cardiac arrest.
