Death penatly carried out....a serious question?

Question

Why is it that a convict's bladder is always found to be empty (and/or tightly contracted) during autopsies after electrocution in the electric chair but their bladders are always partially full after other various methods of execution..ie lethal injection,gas chamber,hanging,firing squad?

I thought the bladder emptied during death,but all inmates who were electrocuted in the electric chair had empty bladders,but those who were executed by other methods had partially full bladders.

Answer 1

That type of electric shock causes all muscles to spasm.  The bladder is under muscular control.

Answer 2

    Never knew that. Interesting. Quite simply though the body reacts differently with different sustained trauma I would imagine.

Answer 3

I'd never heard that or even thought about that before. I'd imagine though that the electricity kind of, well, cooks the juices out of them so-to-speak...
