The prison staff was shocked to see the pain of Eugene Smith, who was executed by nitrogen in the United States. It was the first time in the United States that the death penalty was carried out using nitrogen gas. His spiritual mentor Rev. Jeff Hood revealed the matter. He said that it was a frightening experience and that the prison staff have not yet recovered from the shock of the incident. Smith was seen as a gasping fish. Killing with nitrogen gas was said to be a quick and painless death.But this was the opposite. Smith died about 22 minutes later. At the time of his death, Smith showed antics only seen in movies. In 1988, Kenneth Eugene Smith was sentenced to death for murdering a pastor's wife. There has already been criticism of the use of nitrogen gas. The United Nations also opposed it.
