History’s Most Terrifying Ways of Punishing People

19. Death By Boiling

While Death by Boiling is not a popular form of execution, many parts of Asia and Europe have employed it to punish all types of offenses.

It involves boiling a liquid such as molten lead, wax, water, wine, tallow, and most popularly, oil.

The offender would then be placed in the heated liquid where they will endure a slow and painful death.
