Death by Nitrogen Hypoxia in US: Murderer Alan Eugene Miller Executed by Nitrogen Gas in Alabama

Alan Eugene Miller was executed on September 26 in Alabama using nitrogen hypoxia, a method that has drawn widespread criticism for its potential to cause suffering. Miller, who was sentenced to death for the 1999 murders of three men, had previously challenged the state's nitrogen protocol, claiming it could inflict undue pain. Witnesses reported that Miller was pronounced dead at 6:38 PM local time after shaking and trembling on the gurney for about two minutes, with his body occasionally pulling against the restraints. Following this, he gasped for breath periodically for roughly six minutes before succumbing. Critics, including experts from the UN, have denounced nitrogen hypoxia as "state-sanctioned torture," raising ethical concerns about its use in executions. Miller's execution follows a failed lethal injection attempt in 2022, marking him as the second inmate to die by this controversial method. First-Ever Execution by Nitrogen Gas: US State Alabama Executes Murderer Kenneth Eugene Smith With Nitrogen Gas, First Time New Method Has Been Used.
