Christa Pike survived a botched execution and regained consciousness after lethal injection attempts. Her attorney revealed that she began speaking after being declared 'brain dead' and was on life support. Pike had spent days on a ventilator and developed complications such as a blood clot and pneumonia. She has been on death row since 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer, and her execution was scheduled for September 30. Pike is the only known person in U.S. history to survive after lethal injection was administered during an execution.
