A Utah nurse is accused of killing a friend who she had convinced was sick with cancer so that the nurse could cash in on the woman’s life insurance policy.
Kacee Lyn Terry, 38, died on Aug. 15, three days after Lone Peak police and firefighters rushed to her home in Highland and found her “unconscious and struggling to breathe,” according to a probable cause affidavit in the case.
Meggan Randall Sundwall, 47, was arrested Thursday on charges of aggravated murder and obstruction of justice in her friend’s death.
Terry was found to have died of an overdose of insulin and the sedative promethazine, the medical examiner ruled.
But she was not diabetic. Her blood-sugar level had reached 14, police said; a level of 40 is considered dangerously low.
Sundwall, a licensed registered nurse, knew giving insulin to a non-diabetic would kill Terry, the affidavit alleged.
Sundwall is accused of engaging in a yearslong plot to convince Terry that she had cancer and to let Sundwall medicate her, the police document stated.
Evidence showed Sundwall was having money problems and had wanted to cash in on a
