The Anesthesiologist’s Wife: What Cameras Caught Months Before Her Death

Allie Hummel was a 36-year-old nurse who went to sleep on June 23, 2026, and never woke up.

Her husband, Dr. Andrew Hummel, is a board-certified anesthesiologist, a physician professionally trained in sedation and putting patients to sleep.

In the hours following her death, he is heard on tape saying she aspirated in her sleep after taking medication.

In this episode of Following Leads, we look at home surveillance video and police body camera footage that capture multiple moments in the months leading up to her death.

Allie’s family speaks about their attempts to help her escape, and we examine the unanswered questions that remain as authorities continue to investigate her death.
