BirthFactDeath (-) Friday 13th of June 1997 27 years ago He Leaned His Head Down a Little Bit
Murderer Michael Eugene Elkins is executed by lethal injection at the age of 42 in Broad River Correctional Institution, Columbia, South Carolina, United States. Because Elkins' body had become swollen from liver and spleen problems it took nearly an hour to find a suitable vein for the insertion of the catheter. Elkins tried to assist the executioners asking "Should I lean my head down a little bit?" as they probed for a vein. After numerous failures a usable vein was finally found in Elkins' neck.
