Jeremy BenthamJeremy Bentham was the man in the coffin in Lost season 4 finale

The real Jeremy Bentham, a 19th century philosopher., requested that his actual body, not a statue, be put on display in a wooden case for people to gaze upon after he died in 1832.

The wooden case is now at the University College London..

The body has a wax head, because Bentham’s real head was damaged in the preservation process.

The real head used to be in the case with Jeremy, but students at the college kept pulling pranks with it so it had to be put in a secure location somewhere.

They still pull old Jeremy Bentham out for important meetings, where they list him as “present but not voting.”

Here is the video of Lost season 4 finale when it revealed the identity of the man in the coffin - Jeremy Bentham:
