Terri Schiavo's widower has gone into hiding because of the furore over his wife's death and has sought police protection.
Michael Schiavo, 41, is under guard three days after his disabled wife died from dehydration at a Florida hospice.
She had spent 13 days without food or water after a United States judge upheld Mr Schiavo's claim that she would not have wished to continue life in a persistently vegetative state.
"His goal is to find safe housing because of these death threats," said a friend, Alan Shoopak. "It's not over. Unfortunately, it's just beginning."
Mrs Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who went to the US Supreme Court to block the removal of their daughter's feeding tube, admit that they care little for their son-in-law, but have urged against revenge attacks.
"Our family abhors any violence, or any threats of violence. We ask that all those who support our family be completely kind in their words and deeds towards others," said Mrs Schiavo's sister, Suzanne Vitadamo.
Anger at Mr Schiavo's actions has been fuelled by the revelation that a court order from a county judge, George Greer, who repeatedly refused the Schindlers' pleas to let their daughter live, will allow him to have her cremated and her ashes interred in Pennsylvania. The Schindlers' request for a share of the ashes or even a lock of their daughter's hair has also been refused.
The family see it as the final act in a 12-year campaign of spite by their son-in-law. Other alleged snubs include having his wife's wedding ring melted down to make a ring for himself.
Last week, while his wife's life ebbed away at the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida, Mr Schiavo moved into quarters on site, to avoid protesters outside. Some had banners expressing vitriol for Mr Schiavo and Judge Greer. "You are going to hell, murderers," one read. The hospice also received hoax bomb threats last week.
For several days, Mr Schiavo has not returned to the home in Clearwater he shares with his fiancée, Jodi Centonze, and their two children. Friends speculate that they may leave Florida altogether.
The results of a post-mortem examination, which it is believed may shed more light on years-old bone fractures Mrs Schiavo suffered, and the extent of her brain damage, will be published within weeks.
Mr Schiavo's friends and family speak of a man who honoured his wife's wishes and released her from what he perceived to be a life without hope. After cradling her in his arms as she died on Thursday morning, he placed a rose in her hand and kissed her goodbye.
A Mass to celebrate her life will be held on Tuesday.
ROFL
His priest and spiritual advisor told him everything is gonna be just fine.
"but if he has to hide away in a dark room for several years with no visitors..." yeah. and no visitors means no one to bring him food.
now that would be poetic justice.
Yep, MS is going to be shunned and get cold looks for the rest of his life but he is not going to be a media hero. And Felow is enjoying the money MS hoped to get.
MS is going to be irrelevant and ignored and he won't be able to stand it. Jodi better not get any insurance and better watch her back.
"Can we find a judge to rule that his quality of life has degraded? He told me 7 years ago he wouldn't want to live like this."
ROTFLMAO!!
You're assuming that the little monster still has one.
Righto. Heaven forbid someone should be able to abide by their wife's wishes.
That's why he was having an adulterous relationship and fathered 2 kids... how's that? for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health...
MS sure doesn't have a PR person does he? His latest with denying a lock of hair is going to damn him with those who were holding out over all his other despicable behavior.
The man is a monster unworty of human contact.
A couple of days ago, I thought I heard (on the radio) that Shiavo was going to allow a funeral service. Did I hear incorrectly? I haven't seen anything here.
Doesn't Mikey want to be "beautiful"?
WHO says this piece of crap is getting death threats???? HIM???(ms)
Hey, Alan, you are SOOOOOO right!!! It is NOT over. It IS just the beginning!!!
When the LEAST of 'us' is denied the MOST BASIC, inalienable rights, many of 'us' have a tendency to 'NEVER FORGET'.
LET him(ms) move out of Floriduh. He can RUN but he can't hide.
Nobody needs to hunt this scum, nor harm him, he's damned.
I have a feeling it is going to be like a convicted sex offender. Every where he goes , people will know him as a wife killer. He won't find a place where he is ever fully accepted, is my guess.
I'm fairly certain fractures leave scarred bone, areas of calcification that would show up in x-rays.
Notice they don't want to get old in Florida...bet they want to be able to eat and drink when they become disabled. bastards
My hopes are that people will show honor, regard and respect for Suzanne's request.
Michael Schiavo seems to be wuss. He had no problems having his wife killed yet he runs and hides.
Re 19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,
18 "that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great."
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
