Is it too late to find out who took out the insurance policies - and when?
Wasn't he Kervorkian's attorney?
Money fame and book deal.
I find it preposterous that any insurance company would pay any money in this case. If "willfully allowing her to die" doesn't void any life insurance, then I don't know what would.
She would have been medically uninsurable. It is definitely the media rights.
That was Feiger and he's already weighed in saying that she wouldn't have to starve to death if we could kill her outright.
Geoffrey Feiger was Kevorkian's attorney. I'll bet Greer, Felos and Schiavo are already discussing who will play them in the movie.
From another thread -
CLEARWATER, October 23, 2003 - The motivation behind Michael Schiavo's dire quest to end the life of his severely disabled wife is not certain. He has a child and another on the way with another woman but a divorce would suffice in that case. However, there is the suggestion that he has life insurance money pending on her death - a suggestion which he has refused to comment on.
Will an insurance company pay such a claim if she is forcibly denied food and water?
Felos already has a book out for his death lovers
Litigation As Spiritual Practice
Author: George J. Felos

Michael has refused to answer the question as to whether or not he has a separate life insurance policy on Terri, and the financial records of the lawsuit settlements have been sealed by Judge Greer.
Last I had heard or read, him and his shackup Jodi Centzone owned an insurance agency, them and someone else, I can't remember who the other person was or where I read it now. But I'm pretty sure he was like the director or ceo or something similiar. If I can find it again, I'll post the link.
If you owned an insurance agency, its hard to tell all the "creative financing" one could accomplish.
I'll be surprised if he gets much of anything from insurance. I doubt any insurance company would issue a policy to a woman in such condition.
This means any policy would date from before her injury, and would presumably be of relatively small value.
I hear Michael stopped treatment for Terri right after getting a monitary payment over her condition.
The attorney for the Schiavos at the time of the lawsuit was Gary Fox. If you do a Google search on him with the Schiavos you will come up with far more in the settlement than the $1.2 million frequently mentioned. Fox provides the information on the net.
"...The lapse of time between the various offenses and the indictment of defendant on July 27, 1967, is considerable but is adequately explained by the record. The murder weapon in each case was unique, insulin. The deaths of each of these victims were initially attributed to causes other than a criminal agency. Suspicion of insulin and of defendant as the person administering the insulin was not aroused until the death of Zella in 1956. It was not until years later, after much painstaking and persistent investigation by law enforcement officers, and the discovery of advances made in {Page 3 Cal.3d 621} medical knowledge and techniques, that sufficient evidence could be accumulated to charge defendant with these deaths. Unfortunately, by then other of defendant's victims had lost their lives. This is the only known reported case of murder by insulin poisoning in the United States. Only one other, reported world-wide, occurred in England in 1956. ..."
"...Dr. Grace Fern Thomas, a psychiatrist and an expert in insulin shock therapy, and director of the insulin shock department at the time defendant was at Camarillo, testified as to the procedures on the ward. A precise dosage of insulin was measured for each person at a particular time. At a specific level that patient would go into shock in approximately two hours after the injection. Patients do not progress at the same level. Careful watch must be kept of the pulse, color, blood pressure, general condition, and neurological signs, such as pupillary changes and body motions. When a patient is going into progressive stages of coma he sweats very profusely and breathes very heavily. Saliva is secreted in large amounts, mucous flows freely and mixes with the saliva, and the patient must be carefully watched, turned, or assisted so that he does not aspirate the fluid into his lungs. Otherwise bronchopneumonia may develop, leading to death. The gag reflex and the cornea reflex are lost. Convulsions may occur, and medication is given to prevent this. The extremities may stiffen. At a relatively deep level of coma the Babinski test (scatching the sole of the foot in a certain manner) will cause a reflex known as the Babinski response (toes fan out). The patient must be brought out of the coma within 10-15 minutes thereafter. This is done by administering glucose through gastric tubes, and if this is not effective, glucose is administered intravenously to raise the blood sugar.
