The Most Famous Deaths Throughout History23 of 24
Saddam Hussein. Executed by hanging. The fifth President of Iraq. Saddam was convicted by an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'a, and sentenced to death by hanging. He was executed on 30 December 2006. Amateur footage of the event, unlike the official footage, included sound; witnesses could be heard taunting Saddam at the gallows. That video became the most viral video in Iraq to date.
