During the French Revolution during the decapitations of so called
aristocracy and enemies of the new state one of the beheaded heads was
held aloft and the person holding it said,"this is the head of the
traitor " and it is known that his lips mouthed the words,"That is not
so," So the body lives on even when all bodily functions have ceased .

When Lavosier was beheaded he instructed his friend to observe it. He
intended to blink his eyes after the head was severed. He did.

There are no contemporary accounts of that story, and it is unknown
prior to about 1880, about a century after the rehabilitation of
Lavoisier's reputation. There is (supposedly) one contemporary
account of such an "experiment" but it wasn't Lavoisier.

If he had spit in the eye of his executioner, I'd have been impressed.

Was Lavosier (or whomever) executed for selling freeware?
Otherwise, why are you here?

Lavoisier was executed because he happened to be a noble.
