Vissa muskler drar ihop sig efter döden, medan andra släpper helt och hållet. En sådan muskel som släpper helt är ringmuskeln. Den region i hjärnan som kontrollerar ringmuskeln och ser till att den hålls stängd slutar – inte helt överraskande – att fungera när man dör. Därmed både kissar och bajsar man när man dör, för att musklerna som vanligtvis håller inne allt slappnar av.
Det stämmer, detta händer vid avrättning. Berättat av amerikanska bödlar och läkare:
Elektriska stolen:
”…the prisoner’s eyeballs sometimes pop out and rest on [his] cheeks. The prisoner often defecates, urinates, and vomits blood and drool. The body turns bright red as its temperature rises, and the prisoner’s flesh swells and his skin stretches to the point of breaking. Sometimes the prisoner catches fire….Witnesses hear a loud and sustained sound like bacon frying, and the sickly sweet smell of burning flesh permeates the chamber”.
Gas kammare:
The prisoner does not lose consciousness immediately. According to former San Quentin, California, Penitentiary warden, Clifton Duffy, “At first there is evidence of extreme horror, pain, and strangling. The eyes pop. The skin turns purple and the victim begins to drool.” [5] Caryl Chessman, before he died in California’s gas chamber in 1960 told reporters that he would nod his head if it hurt. Witnesses said he nodded his head for several minutes. [2] According to Dr. Richard Traystman of John Hopkins University School of Medicine, “The person is unquestionably experiencing pain and extreme anxiety…The sensation is similar to the pain felt by a person during a heart attack, where essentially the heart is being deprived of oxygen”.
Hängning:
”If the prisoner has strong neck muscles, is very light, if the ‘drop’ is too short, or the noose has been wrongly positioned, the fracture-dislocation is not rapid and death results from slow asphyxiation. If this occurs the face becomes engorged, the tongue protrudes, the eyes pop, the body defecates, and violent movements of the limbs occur”.
