Who is Tina Lohman and what happened to her?
This series was written and produced by Michael Stabile, engineered by Rob Rovelli. I'm your host, Mike Boudet. On December 12, 2021, a 77-year-old woman was rushed to Hannibal Regional Hospital in Hannibal, Missouri. Her name was Tina. Tina was a kind, generous, and smart woman. Alongside her husband, she owned and operated a successful business. But what was most important to Tina was her family. Tina had four children, 14 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. This is Tina's granddaughter, Carly.
What was the family's reaction to Tina's hospitalization?
December 12, 2021, it was a Sunday evening. It's all a blur. My aunt, Ilsa, called me, and she was very, very short and frantic, and she just said, get to the hospital.
All of Tina's children and grandchildren loved Tina dearly. And when they got the news that she was in the hospital, many of them immediately began making their way to see her. This included Tina's daughter, Ilsa.
My mom's husband called me and told me that my mom was headed to the hospital, and I went ahead and got in my vehicle and started driving to Hannibal. I didn't know what was going on. I was standing at the hospital waiting, and then they took me to the family waiting room, and then handed me her jewelry and said that it will be some time.
Unfortunately, not all of Tina's loved ones could go to her because in December of 2021, the COVID pandemic had just started to wane.
On the way to the hospital, I talked to my mom. My mom actually had COVID at that time and was unable to come, which was awful. They wouldn't let her in the hospital. My mom basically said all she knew was that she had collapsed and that she was unresponsive and that they had taken her to the hospital. All we knew at that point was they were still working on her.
Tina's family waited for the hospital staff to give them more information about Tina's condition. And when a doctor came to see them, the news was all bad.
The doctor came in and told us that there's really not much more that they could do for her and that we need to go say goodbye. That was the first time I had seen her when they told us that she wasn't going to make it. And it was awful. She was hooked up to all these machines and she was breathing, but she was only breathing because of the machine like stuck in her throat.
Tina's family was devastated and they were caught off guard. As far as they knew, Tina was a healthy woman. When she last spoke to her daughter, Heidi, the day before, Tina seemed completely fine.
She was doing great, though. She'd been to the doctor, and the doctors all gave her a clean bill of health. And she was doing great. She had called me the day before, wanting to know what I wanted for Christmas.
Why does the family suspect foul play in Tina's death?
Tina's family gathered around the hospital bed to say their goodbyes. They found themselves in a situation that, unfortunately, many have experienced. their eldest family member was dying. From the outside looking in, this likely seemed like a common occurrence. Tragic, yes, but common. Old people die every day and their loved ones have to say goodbye. That's just how life goes sometimes. Though, this situation with Tina and her family was anything but common. The doctor told the family that Tina was dying from heart failure, but they all knew better. They all knew that this wasn't a case where an elderly woman's life was simply coming to an end. They knew that Tina didn't just end up in a hospital bed. She was put there.
Just remember sitting in the waiting room, just not knowing what was going on, but also like, there's no way that she's gonna die. Like she just went through this terrible situation. Like there's no way that that's gonna happen one after the other. And I just felt so bad for her because she had survived this terrible tragedy and she can't even like see it through.
