Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has halted executions for the remainder of 2026 after Christa Pike survived two lethal injections on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

After officials administered two doses of a lethal drug, Pike, 50, was alive and snoring and was taken by ambulance from her prison to the hospital, her attorneys said, via the ᴀssociated Press and NBC affiliate WSMV.

Late on Wednesday, Gov. Lee said in a statement that he had ordered a “comprehensive, third-party review to determine exactly what occurred,” and halted all of the state’s executions scheduled for 2026.

“Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and consтιтutional, but is effective,” he said, per the AP.

Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of her classmate, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, when she was 18.

She, along with her then-boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, and their friend Shadolla Peterson lured Slemmer to a wooded area of the University of Tennessee’s agricultural campus on Jan. 12, 1995, PEOPLE previously reported.

Pike, who was convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder the following year, was the only defendant sentenced to death.

She has acknowledged her role in Slemmer’s killing, but her attorneys have said that she should spend the rest of her life in prison instead, taking into account her age at the time of the murder, as well as mental illness and a history of severe Sєxual abuse.
