Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennies down its throat?

In ancient Greek they put coins into the mouth of dead people to pay the ferryman for a trip over the Styx to the underworld. (I think it was bronze coins, correct me pls if I'm wrong.)

So yes it must be dead in the first place.

Right but opossums are known to play dead, so they're saying that it could have been playing and they just made it choke to death on a penny
