specifically, haitian voodoo witch doctors used tetradoxin from blowfish to paralyze someone, burying them while their metabolism was barely above their heart and lungs stopping, then exhuming them and blowing their minds with datura, in order to make them think they are a reanimated corpse with no will other than that of the reanimator. somehow (at least once) this induced a catatonic state, only responding to commands automatically, which is where the stiff shambling gait of the prototypical zombie comes from. how much of that was real and how much culturally induced to people believing they should act like zombies isn’t clear. but that’s how the original legend began.
 
in reality it’s not hard to tell a dead body apart from someone paralyzed by tetradoxin, unless it actually does kill them (which it often does), so mostly that’s just a creepy story and/or some really bizarre groupthink. but from there came the notion of poisoning yourself somehow to the threshold of death, so that nobody could tell that you were dead. I think it’s about as sensible as the office supply based concealed weaponry that “Q” would provide james bond with.

It’s a trick some famous characters have done. But I’m drawing a blank on specifics at the moment. I’d like to say that Batman has likely done it at some point.

In fiction there have been some characters that put themselves into a death like state where they have no pulse.
 
It’s just a good thing they didn’t inject the body with chemicals to insure she was dead…
