If someone try do anything to you an' you die, you could put - jis' like de medicine you use in de body, you kin take dat an' put it in de grave when dey die, an' de person'll die right behind dem. [Note on my original pencil transcription reads "medicine in coffin."]
The body is named as a location of medicine use in a hypothetical account; the claimed later death is unverified.
