The 8-year-old’s killer received an “angelic injection”. What then happens to the body? [WE EXPLAIN]

Almost 40 years after the sentence of 66-year-old Frank Atwood to death, the sentence was carried out. The man was convicted in an Arizona court for the 1984 kidnapping of eight-year-old Vicki Lynne. The condemned man was given an injection of poison. That is why we remind you of other ways of executing the death penalty in the world.

1. Frank, 66, was sentenced to garbage for the kidnapping and murder of eight-year-old Vicki Lynne. He was given a lethal injection. Five minutes later the prison doctor pronounced him dead
2. Death Injection is currently the most popular form of the death penalty due to its high efficiency. The convicted person receives three measures — puts you to sleep, relaxes the muscles and stops the heart beating
3. Other methods of capital punishment in use around the world include beheading, electric shock, hanging and shooting. However, they are slower, more complicated to prepare, or more expensive

According to investigators, Atwood kidnapped Vicki from near her Arizona home in 1984. Her remains were found in the desert northwest of Tucson. The experts were unable to establish the cause of death on the basis of the remains, and the convict himself did not plead guilty.

As reported by Bud Foster of CBS News, the drip drip process for the lethal injection went smoothly and “it was probably the quietest of all executions he had seen.”

The medical staff preparing Atwood for execution initially could not locate the vein in Atwood’s right arm to insert the drip, but at Atwood’s suggestion, placed it in his right hand.

In Arizona, those condemned to death can choose between an “angel injection” and a gas chamber to end their lives. Of course, this is not the only way to inflict final punishment. It is performed in a dozen or so different, more or less humane, ways around the world.

According to a report published by Amnesty International, the following methods of execution were used around the world: beheading, electric shock, hanging, lethal injection and shooting.

Chamfer

Beheading is one of the oldest methods of capital punishment. To put it simply, it comes down to a sudden cut off of the head from the rest of the body. This is done with an ax, machete or guillotine. As a result of such action, the brain becomes hypoxic and, after a minute, it dies. Research shows that it is likely that the head remains conscious after being cut for 2-3 seconds; the scientists also calculated that there was enough oxygen in the blood in the head to sustain metabolism for about 7 seconds.

Electric chair, i.e. electric shock

This method boils down to treating the convict with alternating current in several different doses. The first cycle is to deprive the convict of consciousness and cause brain death. The second, less powerful cycle is designed to fatally damage vital internal organs, which leads to the cessation of all vital functions of the body.

Hanging

The death penalty by hanging consists in putting a loop around the neck of the convict, tightening under the weight of the body. As a result, it is fatal. However, not as a result of suffocation, but as a result of a spinal cord rupture in the cervical region. It happens as a result of a kind of “jerk” of the neck by the rest of the inert organism. This is also when the neck is twisted.

Lethal Injection

Lethal Injection, also known as “Angel Injection” because it frees you from everything, is the most common method of capital punishment in the world today. Its use is similar to a drip. The convict is placed on the bed and immobilized with straps. A cannula is placed in the convict’s body and connected to an infusion pump. When the pump is started, the convict receives three consecutive funds — puts you to sleep, relaxes the muscles and stops the heart beating. The heart stops pumping blood.

Shooting

Formerly, shooting was considered an “honorary” death penalty, available to the well-born and the military. It involves sudden death and damage to internal organs or the brain from one or more gunshots. Some countries practice the death penalty by shooting in the back of the head to retrieve undamaged organs for transplant.
