Before his scheduled execution on April 9, Brian Dorsey, a 52-year-old death row inmate, enjoyed a substantial meal.

Dorsey faced execution for the 2006 murder of his cousin Sarah and her husband, Ben Bonnie, at their home.

The tragic events began when Dorsey asked Sarah for money to settle a debt with a drug dealer. Later that evening, he went to their house, retrieved a shotgun from the garage, and fatally shot both of them.

Three days later, Dorsey surrendered to the authorities.

In his final statement, Dorsey expressed deep remorse to the families of Sarah and Ben.

"To all of the family and loved ones I share with Sarah and to all of the surviving family and loved ones of Ben, I am totally, deeply, overwhelmingly sorry."

"Words cannot hold the just weight of my guilt and shame. I still love you. I never wanted to hurt anyone. I am sorry I hurt them and you."

Furthermore, new information has emerged regarding Dorsey's final meal selection.

The tradition of last meals for those on death row has often captured public curiosity, reminiscent of cases like Victor Feguer's.

Feguer, executed in 1963 for a kidnapping and murder, notably chose a single olive as his last meal, marking the end of Iowa's executions.

So, what did Dorsey request for his final meal?

According to reports from the Missouri Department of Corrections, Dorsey opted for a spread of his favorite dishes before his execution.

His order included two cheeseburgers, two large orders of French fries, two servings of chicken strips, and a pizza topped with sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and extra cheese.

On the day of his execution, Dorsey received a lethal dose of pentobarbital at the Bonne Terre prison.

There were concerns raised about the execution process, particularly the 'cutdown' method used to locate a vein, which can be complicated by factors such as obesity and drug use, both relevant to Dorsey's case.

However, the procedure proceeded smoothly, and the Missouri Department of Corrections informed Fox News Digital that Dorsey passed away swiftly after the injection, breathing 'quick, shallow breaths'.

In his final hours, Dorsey made several legal attempts to halt his execution, appealing to the US Supreme Court and seeking clemency from Governor Mike Parson. He highlighted his rehabilitation and good behavior in prison.

Even taking on the role of prison barber, a position of trust due to the use of sharp tools, couldn't sway Governor Parson, who denied the clemency plea.

Governor Parson emphasized that Dorsey had betrayed his family's kindness in their hour of need and stressed that 'Missouri law and the Court's order will deliver justice and provide closure'.
