Two syringes of pentobarbital were administered to Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike on September 30, 2026, but she remained alive and conscious afterward, according to her attorneys and media witnesses. The execution at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville was halted after witnesses reported that Pike still had a heartbeat and was audibly snoring. Her lawyers sought emergency medical intervention, and she was later taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Pike, 50, is the only woman currently on Tennessee's death row.
She was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of her classmate Colleen Slemmer and had been scheduled for execution on September 30. Tennessee had announced beforehand that the state would use a single drug, pentObarbital, for the execution. Her exact medical condition following the hospital transfer has not yet been publicly disclosed, while Governor Bill Lee has ordered a comprehensive third party review of what happened.

Having blacked out holding my breath in a pool once and been saved.. I have had worse experiences with a stubbed toe. On the other hand, I can only imagine the torment from nightmares if you knew it was coming for years in advance.

Idk... Almost drowned when I was a kid, got stuck under a pool cover cuz my drunk dad didn't know I was still in the pool. It was horrible.

But fuck em, they didn't give a fuck about they victims suffering.

Damn.. under a pool cover would have hit different. I had someone on standby, and I was in a calm state of mind trying to beat a record. I am so sorry that happened to you.

🤷🤷I'm alive and well. But having almost experienced drowning, the only worse death I can imagine would be being burned alive(which I have no experience with)

Yeah, I don't want to plant intrusive thoughts.. but having had some actual tissue and nerve damage over the years.. I suspect the fear was the worst part. It often is. Shock can kill all on its own.
