Mom dies from ‘broken heart’ days after her son was found dead in bedroom, family says

HAZLEHURST, Ga. (WTOC/Gray News) - A mother in Georgia died from a broken heart days after her 20-year-old son was found beaten to death, according to the family.

On April 2, Tee’Andrick Lawson was found dead in his room. The family says he was killed inside his room at the hands of two men who broke in while his mother, Tasha Lawson, was out of the home last week.

They do believe his sexual orientation played a role in his death. However, authorities are currently investigating the case.

Nearly 11 days later, his mother, Tasha died on April 13 around 6 p.m.

Officials say the official cause of death was, “aortic dissection rupture, hypertensive, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease”, making her manner of death technically “natural causes”, as no other persons or elements outside of her body caused her death.

She died of heart complications at a Waycross hospital. The family said she truly died of a broken heart.

In the meantime, the family is raising money to clean the room where Tee’Andrick died, along with paying for Tasha’s funeral, as they now need to lay her to rest.
