Man who killed two people wants 'pickled pig knuckles, pigtail' for last meal before execution by electric chair

Edmund Zagorski, 63, will be the first American prison inmate to be executed by electrocution since 2013. He killed 35-year-old John Dotson and 32-year-old Jimmy Porter in 1984

A prison inmate set to be executed in an electric chair for a double murder reportedly chose bizarre menu items for his last meal, according to reports. The 63-year-old inmate, Edmund Zagorski, reportedly chose to eat pickled pig knuckles and pigtail for dinner shortly before his death sentence was carried out on Thursday, November 1.

Reports state that Zagorski's choice of food was seen as odd by the prison administration who generally see death row inmates ordering food items like steak, pizza and fried chicken as their last meal before death. Zagorski will be the first American prison inmate to be executed by electrocution since 2013. He has been on death row since 1984 ever since he was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of two men, 35-year-old John Dotson and 32-year-old Jimmy Porter. Zagorski was 28 when he committed the murders by shooting the victims and slitting their throats.
