They were definetly badly beaten. Also they found dirt in their lungs i believe so they were still alive when buried
They weren't buried alive. They were beaten and strangled to death in the basement of some house in the suburbs of Chicago. They weren't alive in the trunk of the car on the way to where they were found buried in Indiana. Calabrese was there and testified in that "Family Secrets" trial a few years back. The buried alive thing came from Casino. An "Urban Myth" thing.
