William Duell (criminal)
William Duell was a 17-year-old English boy convicted of raping Sarah Griffin in Acton, London.〔Brayley, Edward Wedlake. ''(Londiniana: or, Reminiscences of the British Metropolis: Including Characteristic Sketches, Antiquarian, Topographical, Descriptive, and Literary, Volume 2 )'' (Hurst, Chance, and co., 1829), pp. 33-36.〕 He was sentenced to death. On 24 November 1740, he was hanged in Tyburn, along with four others.〔("The Newgate Calendar: William Duell" ). ''pascalbonenfant.com''. Retrieved 2010-11-12.〕 His body hung for about 20 minutes before being cut down.〔Chambers, William and Chambers, Robert. ''(Chamber's Journal of Popular Literature, Science and Arts )'' (W & R Chambers, 1866), p. 188.〕 It was then brought to the Surgeon's Hall to be anatomized for a medical training college, a common practice at the time.〔("Execution escapes" ).

Duell was stripped and laid on the board, about to be dissected. However, one of the servants noticed that he had begun breathing slowly. Duell's breath got quicker and quicker; he was then bled, and in two hours, he was able to sit upright.〔 That night, he was taken back to prison in Newgate.〔''(The Gentleman's Magazine )'', Volume 262 (F. Jefferies, 1887), p. 56.〕 Duell, suffering from a fever and delirium during his trial and execution, had no recollection of the hanging.〔 It was suggested that his bad state was what ultimately saved his life.〔 By the following day, he was back to full health.〔 Meanwhile, the public had apparently found out what happened to Duell, and there was great excitement over his case.〔〔 The authorities decided to change his sentence to penal transportation. He was exiled for life.〔("Buried Alive" ). ''snopes.com''. Retrieved 2010-11-12.〕
