His death by lethal injection at 10:53 a.m. today may have been marked by the panic and agony that McGuire’s attorneys feared would occur from the combination of drugs used together for the first time in a U.S. execution.

Deep, rattling sounds eminated from his mouth. For the last several moments before he was pronounced dead, he was still.
