John Deering
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Deering (died October 31, 1938) is best known for being the subject of a 1938 experiment to see what would happen to the human heart during death by gunshot. Deering, facing execution in the United States, agreed to have himself hooked up to an EKG while he was shot by a firing squad. The test indicated that total heart death occurred in less than a minute after he was shot.
Deering's life was further detailed in Elephants on Acid.
