Answer:

Atahualpa was sentenced to death by burning at the stake. He was horrified, since the Inca believed that the soul would not be able to go on to the afterlife if the body were burned. Friar Vincente de Valverde

Step-by-step explanation:

In accordance with his request, he was executed by strangling with a garrote on 26 July 1533. His clothes and some of his skin were burned, and his remains were given a Christian burial. Atahualpa was succeeded by his brother Túpac Huallpa, and later by another brother, Manco Inca.
