On 31 January, 1606 Guy Fawkes and a number of others implicated in the Gunpowder Plot were tried in Westminster Hall, London. After being found guilty, they were taken to Old Palace Yard in Westminster and St Paul's Yard, where they were to be hanged, drawn and quartered. Fawkes, however, cheated the hangman by jumping from the scaffold, breaking his neck before he could be drawn and quartered. So really he committed suicide and was not killed.
