No, he lived 44 years and 25 minutes longer than he should have.

I’ve never understood why they don’t use large-animal veterinarians for this job. Although I guess farmers can still used a shot through the head when necessary for those jobs. Surely vets have had to put down very large dogs from time to time.

Another reason to be bring back the electric chair.

Once again. all of this drama is completely and utterly unnecessary. It just gives ammo to those who want to put an end to the death penalty. If you want to implement the death penalty, just build an airtight room. Put oxygen sensors on the windows. Pump it full of nitrogen. Wait 20 minutes, vent the nitrogen out to the roof, and and pump in regular air. Once the O2 levels are good, you wheel out the condemned. No fuss, no muss, no dangerous gasses or chemicals. No doctor violating the hippocratic oath. The job gets done, and no one can complain about it. The condemned is dead and standing before satan before he ever realizes anything is happening.

However, condemned men in the USA do beat on their arm and thigh veins for weeks before an execution to make an IV impossible or non-functional.

A 45 caliber injection to the brain works every time it's tried.

It is weird how universal the ‘experts’ are about how, cruel the Death penalty is. Sadly I can’t seem to recall a time when one of them spoke out about this P.O.S. ruining the victims, families and love ones. This will haunt them forever.
