Oh, and I nearly forgot : What first made the MIL suspect her SIL is the way he announced that his wife wanted to be cremated, right there in the hospital and as soon as she was pronounced dead. Her parents protested saying that as a Catholic she would never have chosen cremation. The SIL eventually gave in, and his wife was buried intact, after a cursory examination that ruled her death accidental...And years later, when the parents had FINALLY got the insurance company and the police interested enough to demand another autopsy,she was disinterred and the needle marks were found on her arm. That's what led to a conviction for murder.

Well, Terri doesn't drool. That saliva has to be going somewhere. But, that wonderfully concerned, caring husband of hers has doctors who have forbidden anyone from giving that poor woman anything by mouth, not so much as a 1/4 of a Communion wafer.

Why, she might choke!
