Watching the news on how and when her death occurred, after Michael and the doctors were going to do an 'assessment' on her that she died made me immediately come to FR and search for the word 'morphine'. Having been familiar with hospice and from personal experience with how they usher in the death process there is no doubt in my mind that they gave her a dose of morphine that in the last minutes to hasten her death.
I too have had unfortunate experiences with hospice. Of course that's why the family couldn't be there at the end. You know she got a big done of morphine. Mikey probably gave it to her.
Sadly, I, too, have had this experience. I'm sure that's why they wanted the parents out of the room. And why Michael, often absent, wanted to be present, to be sure it was done and she was finally gone. She's held on amazingly long. I just hope that if that's what they did, they did indeed wait until the last moment and not just claim falsely to end the attempts by her parents (doomed, no doubt) to seek legal means of reinserting the tube. It's just too bad that the last persons to be with her in this life were those hell bent on her demise.
I am listening to Fox news this am. A news person just said that Terri's brother and sister were with her just prior to her death, around 10am, and were ushered out of the room at about 10 am for medical personnel to do an 'assessment'. That is when she died, apparently just moments after the sibs were ushered out. I suspect we were right. Fox says they are working to verify the story and get 'the other side'. Hmmm...
