WARTBURG LIFE CARE CENTER EMERGENCY REPORT DETERMINED TO BE FALSE

On the morning of September 19, 2026, emergency services rushed to the Life Care Center in Wartburg following an 911 call reporting an emergency at approximately 9:08 a.m.
Multiple local law enforcement and emergency response agencies immediately converged on the facility. However, after thoroughly checking the premises, responders confirmed that the emergency call was a hoax.
  • Agencies Involved: The Wartburg Police Department is leading the inquiry.
  • Collaborating Partners: Investigators are working closely with the Office of the District Attorney General for the Ninth Judicial District and the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Authorities have stated that because this remains an active criminal investigation, no further information will be released at this time.
