An asphyx could be a sort of psychopomp; a Slavic version was called an 'upir', which is considered a linguistic predecessor of 'vampir'β€”I can't help but wonder if there's a version of the upir legend in which the psychopomp, having escorted the old soul out, gets tempted to possess the corpse….

This reminds me of when it looked like scientists had discovered neutrinos moving faster than light, except that it's analogous to the imaginary version of events everyone thought was happening, i.e. "hey everyone we found something physically impossible", instead of the version that actually happened, which was "our experiment probably screwed up and we don't know why"
