Question
What would have happened if a Kohen Gadol had died in the Holy of Holies?
Answer
The Talmud (Yoms 53b) tells about the people worrying about a Kohen Gadol who spent too much time (praying) in the Holy of Holies; this implies that they had no way of reaching him there. But the Zohar (Achrei Mos 67a; Emor 102a) says that a rope was attached to the Kohen Gadol, so his body could be pulled out if he died there.
