Grigori Rasputin's death was marked by a series of dramatic and unusual events. After being poisoned, shot multiple times, and beaten, he reportedly still showed signs of life, prompting his assassins to further incapacitate him. Ultimately, it is said that he was wrapped in a carpet and thrown into a freezing river, where he finally drowned. His seemingly supernatural resilience and the chaotic circumstances surrounding his death have contributed to his legendary status.

Which amendment challenges the death penalty?

No amendment "challenges" the death penalty. The 8th Amendment has been used as a legal basis for challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty. The argument is that the 8th Amendment prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment" and that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment and therefore is prohibited by the US Constitution. This argument was successful in earlier cases, not because the death penalty itself was cruel and unusual but because of the way it was administered. The death penalty is allowed if it is administered without racial or ethnic bias and in a non-cruel manner.

Who assassinated Rasputin?

Prince Felix Yusoppov along with Grand Duke Dimitry; the Tsar's nephew-in-law and cousin respectively are considered the chief conspirators and perpetrators in the killing of Grigory Effimovich Rasputin. Later in exile Prince Yussopov would recount (with imperial majesty) the evening of Rasputins death outside of the Yusspov palace along the Moika Canal in Petrograd as it was know at the time in the winter of 1916. Prince Yusoppov along with his wife Princess Irina, capitalized on Rasputins infamy for financial gain repeatedly as emigres without an income. Something that would have been verboten before exile as wholly beneath their social station.
