Tasha Lawson, 48, died from heart complications at a hospital in Waycross on April 13, just 11 days after her son, Tee’Andrick Lawson, was found dead in his bedroom.
Family members said that Tee’Andrick was killed by two men who broke into his home while his mother was out. According to WTOC, they believe his sexual orientation played a part in the killing. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is now leading the investigation into the 20-year-old’s death, but did not provide further details, including whether they are investigating it as a hate crime.
The mom’s death was ruled to be from “natural causes” from an “aortic dissection rupture, hypertensive, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.”
“Their bond was deep and unbreakable — best friends who did everything together,” writes the family member who created the fundraiser on behalf of Lawson’s daughter, Terreona Harrison. “The pain of losing her son was too much for her heart to bear, and just days later, she passed away from sheer heartbreak. This double loss has left their family shattered.”
