Can you post a link to this??? I'd like to read it. Thanks.
Michael Schiavo went into some detail on Larry King describing the circumstances of the injury which caused Terri to be in her present state. Michael claimed that he woke up in the middle of the night, then heard a loud thud. He went out into the hall, he said, and saw Terri lying in the hallway. She was, he said, unconscious. Michael then stated that he called Terri's brother Bobby, who lived in the same apartment complex as Terri and Michael. He then said that Bobby told him to call 911 and that he would come over. Michael claimed that he was holding Terri in his arms when Bobby arrived. The paramedics arrived a short time later and began to try to revive her. I asked the Schindlers how his account meshed with what they knew happened at the time.Bob Schindler replied "that isn't what happened at all. What happened was that Michael called us first, and I answered the phone. He told me that Terri had collapsed and was unconscious. I told him to call 911. Then I called Bobby and told him to get over there. I said 'something's going on over there, get over there right now.'" Bob also said that Michael's claim that he was holding Terri in his arms was untrue. "When Bobby arrived at their place," Bob explained, "he found Terri lying face down in the hallway, with her feet over the threshold of the doorway, as though she had been coming out of the bedroom. Her hands were clutched around her throat, and her breathing was gurgling. Michael was sitting on the couch in the living room; he was a total basket case."
Terri's heart stopped for several minutes that night, and that stoppage caused the brain damage that led to her current condition. It is frequently asserted in press accounts that Terri had a "heart attack." This too is false. There was no heart attack, and again, doctors have testified to that effect. A heart attack causes the release of certain enzymes into the bloodstream. These enzymes are readily discovered in tests and are used as the "markers" of a heart attack. No such enzymes were found in Terri's bloodstream, nor any other evidence of a heart attack. Terri's heart was and is quite healthy: there was no heart attack.So what happened to cause Terri to lose consciousness? No one is sure, because there was never a proper investigation. The Schindlers do not accept Michael's version of what happened to Terri. Also, Bob related, "it's in the medical record that when Terri was brought into the hospital she had bruises around her neck." Doctors for the Schindlers have testified that those bruises were consistent with manual strangulation. Furthermore, skull x-rays and head CT scans done about a year after her injury indicated fractures to the occipital region which have never been explained. These fractures are consistent with trauma to the head."
NOTE: The person who helped with the spelling and definitions said simply, what the doctor described would be the results of someone who had been kicked, and kicked and kicked. The thoracic damage was possibly from strangulation. If a person is strangulated it follows there would be a loss of oxygen to the brain -- causing brain damage -- as the blood supply was blocked. - Jackie
The trauma was bad enough to be consistent with an auto wreck. Maybe Michael ran over her with his hot dog stand.
The occipital bone (identified in green at the back of the skull) continues underneath the brain to produce the posterior fossa of the basal skull (Diagram 2). The temporal (pink) and sphenoid bones (yellow) make up the major structures of the middle fossa of the basal skull. The anterior fossa consists primarily of the frontal bone (shown in brown), however, most of the frontal bone is covered in Diagram 2 by the maxilla (roof of the mouth, identified by blue). A small component of the parietal bone (gray) extends under the brain to produce the lateral edge of the base of the skull.
Of course, of course... being a very competent young lady she purposely did a front-flip in order to confuse the evidence. Sheeesh... what a clever little vegitable, eh??? ;-))
