Coup de Grace

Judith,
What was the final cause of death???
Would this project work: https://www.geni.com/projects/Unusual-deaths/28160
I don't know how often a failed execution by firing squad happened... so don't know if it is worth a project.

There is also this one: https://www.geni.com/projects/Shooting-by-firing-squad/28002 but you would need to put a comment in the About section that it was a failed execution...

Erica Howton. What do you think???

Do you follow this discussion?

*** Use this site if you have a cause of death that you don’t find in the Cause of death portal… this is a site I started to kind of keep them all in one place (makes response easier). I monitor this site freq so would respond quickly if you put a question or need for a new death related project. (Numerous people & curators follow this & often add their comments / observations.)

Erica Howton, I hope you don't mind, but I added some more info to the https://www.geni.com/projects/Shooting-by-firing-squad/28002 project.

Of course I don’t mind! Thank you.

Erica Howton
Did you see the message / question in the message above??? I am not sure how to deal with a failed execution by firing squad. Of course it kind of depends on what was done afterwards...

It probably is unusual, and occurred as one of the last of mass reprisals following the Spanish Civil War. I just looked up the Wiki page in English and the coup de grace part is not included!!(??)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juli%C3%A1n_Grimau

This English source acknowledges that there is more in Spanish than in Englsh: http://www.executedtoday.com/2014/04/20/1963-julian-grimau-the-last...

Here are some Spanish sources that mention the coup de grace:

https://www.levante-emv.com/espana/2011/04/10/27-balas-tres-tiros-g...

So I'm going to add him to the Shooting by firing squad project, with thanks for your contributions, Erica and Patricia!

Judith Berlowitz, glad to be of help.

If you have cause of death needs in the future please put them in this discussion: https://www.geni.com/discussions/172707 Cause of Death Projects needed??? (links to pg 1 as I don't know what pg we are on...)

It is a site I started to kind of keep them all in one place (makes response easier--I don't have to search for the original message!). I monitor this site freq so would respond quickly if you put a question or need for a new death related project or have a question like the above.

Stay healthy!
Pat

Thanks, Pat - you also stay healthy!
