The electric chair for execution was invented by Alfred P.

The electric chair for execution was invented by Alfred P. Southwick, a dentist from Buffalo, New York. Southwick developed the idea in the late 1880s as a more humane method of execution than hanging. He was inspired by an incident in which a man died quickly after accidentally touching an electrical generator. Southwick's invention was influenced by the emerging use of electricity and the involvement of other key figures, such as Thomas Edison, in the debates over the use of alternating current (AC) for the electric chair.
