Discovery
[edit]Many queries must be made about the discovery of the electric chair. In the United Kingdom, body snatchers in the late 1700s-1800s used to deliver their victims dead of course, but also alive. Surgeons often required that they be tortured, so used a device that resembled the common chair. The chair had prongs which dug into the victims neck which electrocuted them. This was used so they would comply with live medical studies. It is imperative the real discoverer should be named. I give to you that this wasn't the real inventor of the chair.
