Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy Execution and Last Words [including News Coverage 1994]

On the 10th May 1994 John Wayne Gacy was exectured via lethal injection. He chose to eat a bucket of chicken, a dozen fried shrimp and a LOT of strawberries, all washed down by a Diet Coke. It’s unknown which members of his family actually came to eat with him that day, as he left two ex-wives in his past, and his dad had died.

Though you might think the lethal injection is just one shot from a syringe, the process is a bit slower than that. According to Human Rights Watch, a direct injection of Potassium Chloride would be excruciatingly painful if administered without anaesthetic; so the execution happens in three stages. First, a doctor will inject a sedative so you simply fall asleep, without being able to feel anything.Then, you’re injected with a chemical which paralyses the muscles. Finally, Potassium Chloride is fed into your body through an IV drip, which usually stops the heart.

While the public watched, the anaesthetic drug was administered into John Wayne Gacy’s IV line. But as the liquid travelled, it did something almost unheard of when it comes to executions on Death Row.The solution crystallised inside the drip, forming solid clumps of chemical and clogging it, so nothing else could get in. Doctors were baffled, and shut the curtain on the public while they tried to figure out what the hell was going on. 18 minutes later, the tube was replaced and the process could continue.Anaesthesiologists actually blamed prison officials for setting the equipment up the wrong way.

Just before falling asleep under the sedation, Gacy turned to the public gallery and told everyone to “kiss my ass”. He died at 12:58 AM on 10th May 1994.
