As the drug began to course through his veins, Kemp's eyes closed and his body visibly shook for several seconds before he went quiet and appeared to fall asleep with a few deep breaths. His lawyer was concerned and spoke to the media after Kemp's execution, "It was unmistakable. He was shaking very violently. We're very disturbed by that."
