Korguz
Korguz (d. 1242) was an Uyghur governor of Khorasan[1] during the reign of the Mongol ruler Ogedei Khan. He began his career teaching Mongol children and thereafter assumed governorship of Khorasan.[2] Originally a Buddhist, he converted to Islam later in his life.[3] In public, he was ordered to death by Töregene Khatun who directed that stones be stuffed into his mouth until Korguz fatally choked.[4]
