Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, often referred to as the father of modern chemistry, lost his head during the Reign of Terror in France. He was executed by guillotine on May 8, 1794, largely due to his association with the tax collection system and his previous role as a director of the Ferme Générale, which was deeply reviled by revolutionaries. His scientific contributions were overshadowed by the political turmoil of the time, leading to his tragic fate.
