Is it true that Hermann Goering died by suicide with cyanide in his cell on 15 October 1946, hours before his scheduled execution?
Yes. A reference account states Goering was sentenced to be hanged but died by suicide swallowing a cyanide tablet hidden from his guards before execution, and an archival memorandum notes he took his own life on October 15, 1946.
