0008003: Dwarf baby who drowned came back as ghost even after burial
Before anything that killed a dwarf would only need to have them buried in a coffin, though this time one baby came back as a ghost even though he was clearly entombed in a coffin. it wasn't lavish, just a placed coffin.

Engraving a slab seemed to drive it away, though no notice that it left was made.

The entombing of the baby was quick, so there wasn't a large delay there.

This happened likely because dwarves were crossing a river, before I had a bridge built between the two sides. I seemed to notice dwarves swimming between the sides for some reason. They seem to want to fish from the far bank.
Well, first you drown a baby...

Same file as my other bug. Nice to have them in one save file.

Baby died, was put in a coffin as per usual. Some time later he comes back as a ghost for not having been lain to rest properly.

Baby will disappear once you memorialize him though. Message that they went to rest comes later on.
