The cause of her collapse is still a mystery, but all the people who tried to push the "he abused her" story owe Michael an apology. Oh yeah, I remember seeing the family's lawyer on Fox News talking about how Terri's face would light up every time she "saw" her mother is a liar since Terri was BLIND. Also, that huckster of a doctor who kept showing up on Fox News needs to lose his license for claiming he could have helped her with therapy when over half her brain was gone.
I'm no doctor, but I'm guessing she died because of a detached feeding tube. And boy is there a lot of people who look like jerks after this report. They cut her up unneccesarily just to prove a point to the her parents. I hope they can move on now.
Some conservatives have a wierd view. The right to life begins at conception and then ends at birth, only to resume when you become brain dead.
I've got news for you: She died when her brain died. The right wing nutjobs of the world owe Michael Schiavo an apology.
Are you kidding me? Do you also think they might still find WMD? I don't know your affiliation but just once I'd like to hear a republican admit that they are wrong. ...I'm still waiting.
She was still physically alive and WMDs will not be found. However, Michael Schiavo did the right thing even before the autopsy.
I didn't know she was blind. Whatever spirituality is involved, I hope to never experience the kind of existence Mrs. Schiavo's body went through in that stage of her life.
I have to add myself to the I voted republican and I was wrong list. I also made my intentions clear if that ever happen to me. If my brain is dead don't keep my body alive.
I voted republican and agree that Schiavo should have had the plug pulled on her. I know that's hard for some of you left wing nut jobs to understand.
Such a sad situation for her and her family. I saw the best explanation for it on South Park (of all places) who did a semi-parody on the whole thing, with Kenny in the Terry Schiavo role. On the issue, those who want to pull the feeding tube are right for all the wrong reasons, while those who want the feeding tube kept in are wrong for all the right reasons.
It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word
They won't let it go away!!!!!!!!!!! Arrrrhhhhh! Link to story on Yahoo TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush asked a prosecutor Friday to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, calling into question how long it took her husband to call 911 after he found her. In a letter faxed to Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, Bush said Michael Schiavo testified in a 1992 medical malpractice trial that he found his wife collapsed at 5 a.m., and he said in a 2003 television interview that he found her about 4:30 a.m. He called 911 at 5:40 a.m. "Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was made, and I am aware of no explanation for the delay," Bush wrote. "In light of this new information, I urge you to take a fresh look at this case without any preconceptions as to the outcome." Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment Friday from The Associated Press. In comments in The Miami Herald, he said Terri Schiavo would not have survived if her husband had not immediately called 911. "It's absolutely preposterous," Felos said. "If he had waited 70 minutes she would have been dead." Terri Schiavo died March 31 from dehydration after her feeding tube was disconnected at her husband's request, despite unsuccessful efforts by her parents, Bush and others to keep her alive. An autopsy released Wednesday concluded that she had been in a persistent vegetative state and revealed no evidence that she was strangled or otherwise abused before she collapsed. It left unanswered the question of why Terri Schiavo's heart stopped, cutting oxygen off from her brain. The autopsy showed she suffered irreversible brain damage and her brain had shrunk to half the normal size for her age.
