But to the first question, will he be responsible for her death?

I believe that he could be, if the evidence was there and the prosecutor wanted to prosecute.
I doubt it will happen.

Perhaps at best, he could be prosecuted for attempted murder. A prosecutor could certainly argue that his misrepresentation of Terri's wishes in a court of law proximately lead to the order that caused her death. But wouldn't the judge's order be an interceding cause?
I don't know. It's an interesting legal question. Sounds like he received some long thought out legal advice before requesting the removal of the feeding tube.
