Tennessee Governor Bill Lee halted all remaining scheduled executions in the state for the rest of the year and ordered an outside investigation following a failed lethal injection attempt. The inmate, 50-year-old Christa Gail Pike, survived the procedure, during which she was reported to be alive and loudly snoring.
Following the botched execution, Pike was transported by ambulance from the prison to a hospital for treatment. According to her attorneys, her current medical condition remains unknown as they have not been informed by authorities.
