The Tennessee prison chief who oversaw the botched execution of murderer Christa Pike has stepped down, Governor Bill Lee announced Saturday.

Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada offered his resignation to Lee on Oct. 3 — three days after Pike survived two doses of a lethal injection.

On Wednesday night, the governor called for a full, independent review of what may have gone wrong and halted the remaining execution the state had scheduled this year.
