“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

The liquid? It would be excruciating. Burning your insides with frostbite.

You're thinking of liquid nitrogen. Nitrous oxide is commonly found in whip cream cannisters, and is actually quite pleasurable imo.
