Authorities in Utah have arrested a registered nurse accused of manipulating a patient into believing she had terminal cancer before fatally injecting her with insulin to claim a $1.5 million life insurance payout.

Per Fox 13 News, Meggan Randall Sundwall, 47, was taken into custody on Thursday following an investigation into the death of 38-year-old KaceeLyn Terry. In August 2024, police responded to a distress call at a Highland, Utah residence, where they found Terry unresponsive. Her uncle, Mark Farnsworth, had made the call, describing how she appeared to be drowning while unconscious.

Inside the home, officers found Sundwall alone with Terry. She claimed Terry had been terminally ill for years, had signed a do-not-resuscitate order, and did not want medical intervention. However, paramedics discovered a diabetic needle at the scene, raising suspicions since Terry was not diabetic. Tests later revealed her blood sugar level was critically low.

At the hospital, doctors treating Terry found no evidence of cancer, contradicting Sundwall’s claims. An autopsy later confirmed Terry had never been diagnosed with a terminal illness. She was declared brain-dead on August 15.

Investigators uncovered a disturbing history of messages between Sundwall and Terry, spanning several years. Text exchanges suggested Sundwall had repeatedly encouraged Terry’s death, even offering assistance. After Terry’s passing, Sundwall allegedly deleted hundreds of messages and searched for details on her life insurance policy.

Charged with first-degree aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, Meggan Randall Sundwall remains in custody without bail as the investigation continues.
