The rope that was used to hang Williams was too long, and when Williams hit the floor after dropping through the trap door on the gallows, three police officers were required to hold Williams up by the rope for over 14 minutes until he finally died of strangulation. The circumstances of Williams' execution helped lead to the abolition of capital punishment in Minnesota.

Miss Hungary 1985 Csilla Andrea Molnár commits suicide by an overdose of Lidocaine at the age of 17 in Fonyód, Dél-Dunántúl, Hungary. Molnár complained of being harassed by the public saying, "I don't know whether I can bear this, everybody is harassing me. They ask: Where and from whom did you get those beautiful clothes? Who helped you? Do you or your father have special connections with the jury? And so on." She was the first Hungarian beauty queen after a 50-year interval.
