Socrates was put to death with poison from hemlock.
There are historical accounts that suggest Plato may have been poisoned, possibly by hemlock, towards the end of his life. This method of execution was commonly used in ancient Greece for criminals and political dissidents. However, due to the lack of concrete evidence, the exact circumstances of Plato's death remain uncertain.
Traditionally Aristotle died in "of a disease of the digestive organs". That could very well mean he was poisoned and Alexander is rumored to have arranged for his death prior to his own death, but nothing is certain. He did not knowingly or willingly drink hemlock. Another famous philosopher, Socrates, was sentence to death by drinking hemlock. Aristotle had accused the Greeks of sinning against Philosophy by executing Socrates.
Socrates drank a concoction containing hemlock, which is a poisonous plant. Hemlock causes respiratory paralysis and ultimately death.
From hemlock yes but not an overdose it was his death penalty
Socrates was given a poison known as Hemlock. Hemlock is a highly toxic plant that affects the central nervous system, leading to paralysis and death. It was ingested by Socrates as his method of execution after being sentenced to death for corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety.
Hamlet dies because he is stabbed by Laertes with a poisoned sword. It is not stated what the poison is. Perhaps it could be hemlock, but it seems that hemlock is less fast-acting, especially for the tiny dose that Hamlet must have received. (See Plato's Phaedo for an example of death by hemlock.)

No, "hemlock" is a common noun referring to a type of plant.
Conium maculatum (Hemlock or Poison Hemlock), is native to Europe and North America.
yes it is there are different types of Hemlock trees
Hemlock is not very rot resistant.
There are many types of hemlock. Conium consists of two species, both of which are toxic. Water Hemlock and Hemlock Water Dropwort are both also poisonous. However, Hemlock (Tsuga) is the genus name of a type of coniferous trees, which are not toxic.
