Emergency medical help for Christa Pike was delayed due to confusion, 911 tapes reveal

One of Pike's attorneys also called 911 to report that Pike is "still alive and breathing, and needs immediate life-saving care," according to audio of the call.

Emergency help for Christa Pike was delayed by confusion among first responders and Tennessee prison officials following her failed lethal injection last month, according to 911 dispatch recordings reviewed by The Associated Press.
