Sonny Graham, who received Terry Cottle's heart, married his widow. Along with sympathy for the donor's wife, the new heart also gave Graham a strange new craving for beer, sports betting, and hot dogs. That's exactly what Terry Cottle loved. The couple met after Graham wrote to the woman thanking her husband for being a heart donor for him. Twelve years after the successful transplant, Graham shot himself, leaving his wife a widow for a second time under strikingly similar circumstances. Graham, 69, died after shooting himself in the throat with a shotgun. He was found in the garage of the house where the couple lived. In 1995, Graham was on the verge of death due to heart failure. He was less than six months old when word came from the Medical University that a donor heart was available. And it was thanks to Cottle, who was 33 at the time of his death, that Sonny Graham survived. And Terry Cottle's heart survived perfectly because the owner committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. [Horror History](https://t.me/mistic_history)

The Justinian plague is the first recorded pandemic plague in history, which emerged during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I and spread throughout the civilized world at the time. It is believed that the first source of the plague appeared in Ethiopia or Egypt, after which the disease reached Constantinople via trade channels (Mediterranean) and then from that center spread to the northern, southern and eastern parts of Byzantium, after which it also spread to neighboring countries. The epidemic reached its apogee in the Byzantine Empire around 544, when up to 5,000 people died daily in Constantinople and on certain days up to 10,000 died. The primary-septic plague was particularly appalling for contemporaries. An apparently healthy person died on the same day, before any clinical signs appeared. About 66 million people became victims of plague in the East (66% of Constantinople population died), up to 25 million people died of it in Europe. [Horror History](https://t.me/mistic_history)

Lethal injection is a method of execution used in a number of states in the United States, as well as in the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and China. The execution procedure differs from general anesthesia only in the doses and speed of administration of the drugs. The following drugs are administered sequentially: - Thiopental sodium - a cheap anesthetic - Pavulon - myorelaxant - Potassium chloride - rapid administration of potassium salts leads to electrolyte disturbances and chemical cardioplegia (cardiac arrest). Death occurs within 5 to 18 minutes after the beginning of the execution. According to critics of this method of execution, lethal injection creates only the appearance of a humane way of death, not being such in reality. According to some reports, in practice the dosages of drugs are often violated. According to some reports, the dosage of anesthetics is sometimes so low that the executed can remain fully conscious throughout the procedure. [Horror History](https://t.me/mistic_history)
