Yes. On September 30, 2026, Tennessee attempted to execute Christa Pike by lethal injection. Media witnesses and her lawyers say she was given two doses of the barbiturate pentobarbital, remained alive (including continued breathing after the second dose), and was taken to a hospital, where attorneys said she was in critical condition receiving lifesaving care.
The Death Penalty Information Center said Pike was the first person in U.S. capital punishment history to survive after being injected with lethal drugs. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee called off executions in the state for the rest of 2026 and ordered an investigation into the botched attempt. Source: NPR (see also BBC).
