Death Row Dinners

POSTED: Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 10:47 AM

COED Magazine caught wind of a curiously morbid photo project that we'd like to share with you. Photographer Henry Hargreaves took it upon himself to recreate and replate the last meals of eight infamous death row inmates and the results are both visually stunning and downright creepy.

We thought we'd post this one early on in the day as to not make for any nightmares, so here are some of the highlight, or maybe low lights.

Ted Bundy declined a choose-your-own dinner and was given the 'traditional' last meal (who knew that there was a 'traditional' last meal?) Anyway, what's the 'traditional' last meal? A hearty breakfast of steak and eggs with hash browns, toast with butter and jelly plus glasses of milk and OJ.

There's quite a bit of fried chicken and pie on these last meal menus but kidnapper/murderer Victor Feguer's final plate wins for number one head scratcher: a single pit-in black olive.

Head on over to COED for a slideshow of all of the photos
