Did u know that the electric chair was invented by a dentist? Yeah, unbelievable but its true.The name of the dentist who invented electric chair, he is Dentist Alfred P. Southwick,who watched a drunk man accidentally shock himself to death in 1881. He figured a new method for executing people on death row which would be quick and painless (unlike going to the dentist, which is often long and painful). The first electric chair designed by the Thomas Edison’s company & they used a generator to power the chair.In 1890, the electric chair was hardly proved that its quick and painless.
