Yes, I do, from talking w/Terri's family.

The intent is not only to have her body cremated against the wishes of her family, but furthermore to scatter those ashes up in PA on some Schiavo family property, also (needless to say) in defiance of her family's wishes.

Supposedly, greer has already approved cremation & it is on a fast track to being done immediately after her death.

However, FL statutes are that any cremation MUST be run by the district's medical examiner office and be approved. This approval is given only after the ME office is satisfied that the death is not due to violence or suspicious circumstances, homicide, or suicide. The ME office is meant to cooperate with, but to be totally independent of, any law enforcement or hospitals or courts.

One might conclude that Michael's desire to insult and hurt Terri's family goes far beyond simply causing her death.

Sometimes it seems MS is doing all this JUST to hurt Terri's family - what a truly cruel and despicable man.

some Schiavo family property,....

So her parents and other family members as well as the public will not be able to place flowers at her grave?

That's malicious. Terri's family deserves to be able to do at least that. For crying out loud!

Generally, in a hospital setting, few actual autopsies are performed unless there is a question as to the cause of death. In Terri's case the obvious cause of death will be kidney failure, and the ME will probably not feel compelled to perform an autopsy.

The ME will perfom an autopsy at the request of the family, but as her legal guradian is Mr. Schiavo I doubt that one will be requested.

One might conclude that Michael's desire to insult and hurt Terri's family goes far beyond simply causing her death.

It's been a brutal court battle where they've done their best to paint him as unfit to be Terri's guardian. I imagine that there are some very hard feelings all around.
