Red tape delays death benefits for family of trooper killed in line of duty By Nick Ochsner | April 22, 2021 at 7:11 PM EDT - Updated April 22 at 7:53 PM
GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WBTV) – It took nearly a year for the State of North Carolina to pay Alex Sanders death benefits after her husband was killed in the line of duty.
Sanders’ husband, Trooper Nolan Sanders, died March 27, 2020 in a single-vehicle accident while on duty with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.
The medical examiner issued a cause of death in Sanders’ case soon after the accident but, by law, a death investigation still had to be completed before his family could receive the death benefits they were owed.
