As Jesus said, "Let the dead bury their own dead." This is a perfect example of the dead burying the dead.

They sealed that thing up like they are worried that he is coming back as something else... DANG!

All this burial means is: Saint Benedict XVI!
Think about it. Both popes buried in this location (John XXIII and John Paul II) were later canonized. This location seems to be the papal crypt for future saints.
I mean, it's possible.

(وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا ) صدق الله العظيم
