Terri To be Cremated on Husband's Orders Terri Schiavo will be cremated immediately after her death on orders from her husband Michael, her brother and sister revealed late Saturday, precluding any possibility that an autopsy that could determine whether her brain damage was caused by a heart attack or physical abuse. Terri's siblings Suzanne Carr and Robert Schindler, Jr., told Fox News Channel's "The Big Story with Rita Cosby" that they'd like the authorities to examine the circumstances of the events that caused of their sister's brain damage, based on medical reports that show she sustained several broken bones and a neck injury consistent with strangulation. Terri's brother said, however, that her husband Michael has "instructed the judge to cremate her body upon her death, which adds even more suspicion to what really happened to Terri." He added, "We're trying to stop the cremation from happening if Terri does die, so hopefully, we get to the process of investigating what may have happened to Terri that evening."

Reasons to Have an Autopsy Performed
In an accompanying editorial, George D. Lundberg, MD, editor of JAMA, stated several reasons for performing autopsies:* establishing the cause of death
* comparing premortem (before death) symptoms with and postmortem autopsy findings
* monitoring public health
* assessing the quality of medical practices
* instructing medical students and physicians
* identifying new and changing diseases
*evaluating different therapies
* reassuring family members and
* protecting against false liability claims and settling valid claims
When performed for medical reasons, autopsies require formal permission from family members or the legal guardian. (Autopsies required for legal reasons when foul play is suspected do not need the consent of next of kin.)
