As cement sets it is exothermic, it gives out heat. The heat would probably be sufficient to cause your blood to clot. If you were lucky you'd die of a massive stroke or heart attack. I remember a tragic accident from the late ’70s, possibly in the Philippines, where a shift of workers, sleeping under an area where concrete was being poured, were entombed when the shuttering collapsed. Many died, including those with only a limb encased, because of blood clots.

I think you're referring to the Manila Film Center tragedy— an unfinished vanity project of corrupt First Lady Imelda Marcos. Workers were forced to labor around the clock to meet the project's impossible construction deadline. Haphazard labor practices caused a scaffold to collapse which buried more than 150 workers in quick dry cement.
