What Do They Do if You Survive Your Execution? | Tales From the Bottle

Qxir | August 12, 2025



They’ve stood you straight against the nearest wall, lined up the firing squad and fired. But you survived! What now?

“Wenceslao Moguel Herrera (c. 1890 – 29 July 1976) was a Mexican man who was captured on March 18, 1915, suspected of taking part in the Mexican Revolution. He was sentenced to death without a trial, and was shot 8–9 times by a firing squad in the body, and received the “coup de grΓ’ce”, or one final shot to the head point-blank range to ensure death.”

    Arguably the most influential Russian singer and songwriter of 20 century Vladimir Vysotskiy had a popular song based just on the premise that surviving the execution gives one a free pass. But it's about the execution of a soldier near the front line with the officer having sympathy to him, so, maybe, it's semi-belivable. A hella great song anyway.

    It's never happened before, but I have heard the theory that if your heart stops and you're legally declared dead, but you're later resuscitated, then technically you've already been served your desth penalty so they can't kill you again.

    "despite being shot in the head numerous times, he didn't suffer any brain damage" is possibly the fucking craziest thing I've heard

    In Medieval Europe, if you were sentenced to hang but the rope snapped or slipped in a way it wouldn't kill the condemned, it was seen as a sign from God and they'd be free to go as the divine intervention was seen as proof of innocence.
