Worst way to die I have ever heard of

[zinc2man]

A shopworker who had feelings for a fellow worker which were not returned decapitated himself, the Bridgend, south Wales, coroner recorded yesterday. David Wackett, 25, tied a nylon rope around his neck and to a lamp-post and drove off in his car, the court heard. As he drove away the rope tightened, tearing his head from his body.

To be hanged, drawn and quartered was from 1351 a penalty in England for men convicted of high treason, although the ritual was first recorded during the reigns of King Henry III (1216–1272) and his successor, Edward I (1272–1307). Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge. For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burnt at the stake.
The severity of the sentence was measured against the seriousness of the crime. As an attack on the monarch's authority, high treason was considered a deplorable act demanding the most extreme form of punishment; although some convicts had their sentences modified and suffered a less ignominious end, over a period of several hundred years many men found guilty of high treason were subjected to the law's ultimate sanction. They included many English Catholic priests executed during the Elizabethan era, and several of the regicides involved in the 1649 execution of Charles I.
Although the Act of Parliament defining high treason remains on the United Kingdom's statute books, during a long period of 19th-century legal reform the sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was changed to drawing, hanging until dead, and posthumous beheading and quartering, before being abolished in England in 1870. The death penalty for treason was abolished in 1998.

aids

Being forced to swallow a mixture of razor blades, LSD and Caffeine. Then left to rot in a cage that's slightly too small for your body.

Alternatively:

Having bones and tissue removed while you're fully conscious and kept alive. For example, having your joints surgically removed, day by day. Then one kidney. Then your eyeballs. And so on.

Remember reading about how in medieval times they would sometimes bury a person up to their head, make a cut on their crown and peel off the skin along the wound. They would then pour mercury down the opening. This apparently caused the skin and flesh to separate. The person in the hole would be squirming in the dirt because of the immense pain trying to get out. That when he did manage to get out, all that was left behind was his skin.

consensus = brazen bull and/or slower baking oven?

does anything top this?


human history is fuked up(srs)

The Scavenger’s Daughter, the Iron Maiden, and Scaphism seem worse in my opinion.

laughed at the thought of somebody escaping from being buried but only their skeleton making it out

From another thread:

Disagree. I would hate to be scammed to death. Like someone scams you out of everything in your life, money, family, friends, everything. Then just when you think you can't get scammed any more you get scammed out of your own life (not srs).

Buried alive would be awful. Just knowing that it is happening yet being unable to prevent it, dying slowly and being powerless.
