Fact: his last meal was a few gulps of completely-free-of-oxygen, odorless, tasteless, inert nitrogen gas.
His brain went lights out within seconds so, by definition, there could be no 'pain'.
Almost as effective as the guillotine, but without the dramatic punctuation...
Without the mess. So there's that too.
I wonder if he briefly experienced nitrogen narcosis, or in his case, rapture of the gurney (with apologies to Stephen Stills and Neil Young).

One of the things that separates us from most of the heathen world is the 8th amendment.

He began writhing and thrashing between two and four minutes
A few years ago I was hiking with a couple of guys in a remote location and one of them had a massive heart attack. He had no pulse at all. After a few minutes of the other guy giving CPR the dead guy began writhing and thrashing. But there was never any pulse. Pretty disturbing to be honest. This went on for 5-10 minutes. When the heart stops the blood stops carrying oxygen to the body, so the effect is similar to breathing 100% nitrogen. I'd always thought that after a heart attack the victim would just lie quietly but that seems to not be true based on my one experience (it would be interesting to hear from an emergency medic). And it's not a surprise that the executed inmate's body thrashed around some.

They should just use a few of those fentanyl tablets that are being seized. 100,000 people a year have proven it effective.
