Medical Plane Vanishes Near Nantucket with Six Onboard—Search and Rescue Underway

Tennessee death‑row inmate Christa Pike was left unconscious and on a ventilator after authorities failed to execute her via lethal injection. Two doses of pentobarbital were injected, but she did not die, prompting an emergency motion from her legal team to preserve evidence and seek commutation. Doctors noted her blood‑clotting condition and the difficulty in accessing veins, while officials say the execution protocol was followed. Governor Bill Lee halted all executions for the year and ordered an independent review, but the Department of Corrections maintains its procedures were correct. The case has reignited debate over the death penalty and the safety of lethal injection protocols.
