Lethal injection is not the only method used to carry out the death penalty, but it is the most commonly used method in the United States. Other methods that have been used historically include electrocution, gas chamber, hanging, and firing squad. The method of execution can vary depending on the laws of the state or country where the death penalty is being carried out.
