    Utah Nurse Charged with Murder in Alleged Life Insurance Scheme

    HIGHLAND, Utah (KUTV) — A Utah registered nurse has been arrested on charges of aggravated murder, accused of killing a woman by injecting her with insulin and then trying to claim her life insurance.

    The investigation began on August 12, 2024, when authorities responded to a medical emergency at a home in Highland. The caller reported the victim was unconscious and having difficulty breathing. Upon arrival, first responders found 47-year-old Meggan Randall Sundwall with the victim.

    Sundwall, also a registered nurse, indicated the victim had been suffering for “several hours” and, according to Sundwall, had declined to go to the hospital. Sundwall claimed the victim had terminal cancer for four to five years and had a do-not-resuscitate order.

    Paramedics discovered a diabetic needle, but police confirmed the victim was not diabetic. She was transported to Mountain Point Hospital in Lehi, where her blood sugar was critically low. The victim’s family was informed by her primary care physician that she had never been diagnosed with cancer. An autopsy revealed no health issues and no do-not-resuscitate order was found. Sundwall also did not have power of attorney for the victim.

    The victim was declared brain dead and died on August 17, just 72 hours after the initial 911 call. Documents indicated that Sundwall believed she was the beneficiary of a $1.5 million life insurance policy held by the victim.

    Investigators found over 28,000 text messages between Sundwall and the victim, dating back to December 2019. The messages included, “detailing different ways Meggan would kill herself if she was (the victim) and of Meggan offering to ‘help’ (her) die.” Texts also revealed discussions of Sundwall’s financial problems and how these would be resolved by receiving the life insurance payout.

    Sundwall was at the victim’s house shortly before 10 a.m. on the day she collapsed and admitted to being the only person with her all day. At approximately 9:47 a.m., Sundwall texted the victim, asking, “Do you want to take some promethazine when I get there so that you are asleep when this is happening?”

    The medical examiner determined that the victim’s cause of death was an overdose of promethazine, probable insulin, and other drugs, ruling the manner of death as undetermined.

    Following the victim’s death, Sundwall searched for the life insurance policy and deleted over 900 texts from her phone, allegedly to erase evidence.

    Sundwall was booked into the Utah County Jail on first-degree felony aggravated murder and third-degree felony obstruction of justice.
