Socrates was sentenced to death by drinking a cup of poison hemlock for charges of corrupting the youth and impiety (disrespect for the gods) in Athens.
Socrates was best known for his contributions to Western philosophy, particularly the Socratic method of questioning to stimulate critical thinking and the search for truth. He also made significant contributions to ethical thought and the idea that "the unexamined life is not worth living."
According to his pupil, Plato, and other Greek historians, Socrates committed suicide by drinking the poison hemlock. He had been convicted by an Athenian jury of corrupting the young and of spurning the Athenian gods. He was given the merciful option of suicide, rather than the normal execution by having his throat cut and thrown into a refuse pit.
The jury in Athens voted to execute Socrates by a margin of 280 to 220, finding him guilty of corrupting the youth and impiety. He was given the opportunity to suggest an alternate punishment but chose to stick by his principles and opted not to propose a different penalty, leading to his eventual death by drinking poison hemlock.
Socratic philosophy, at its core, is about not accepting that things are a given. "It is the way it is," was not a valid answer in his view. Everything is open to being questioned, and everything should be questioned. Obviously, if you're a wealthy and powerful aristocrat, then somebody who spends all day going, "But why should we listen to this guy?" is not going to be your favorite person.

Socrates, but Seneca also drunk hemlock in an attempt to kill himself. This was because originally when he was sentenced to death, his arteries were cut, but since Seneca was quite old, his blood flowed too slowly for him to die, so he asked to be given hemlock. Unfortunately, this still didn't kill him, and eventually he died through being suffocated with steam.
