Ted Bundy’s Execution: A last thick strap was pulled across Bundy’s mouth and chin. The metal skullcap was bolted in place, its heavy black veil falling in front of the condemned man’s face. An anonymous executioner pushed the button. Two thousand volts surged through the wires. Bundy’s body tensed and his hands tightened into a clench. A tiny puff of smoke lifted from his right leg. A minute later, the machine was turned off, and Bundy went limp. A paramedic opened the blue shirt and listened for a heartbeat. A second doctor aimed a light into his eyes. At 7:16 a.m., January 24th, 1989, Theodore Robert Bundy was pronounced dead. A witnessing newsman raised his hands in signal as he left the Q Wing of Florida State Prison. Across the street, along the dewy grass of a cow pasture, word spread among the 500 or so who had come to be near—almost all to cheer—the execution. Some began chanting, “Burn, Bundy, burn!” And others sang or hugged or banged on the frying pans they had brought along. ( Source: dance-0f-the-damned.tumblr )
