Terri Schiavo autopsy completed Her parents, husband planning separate funeral arrangements Saturday, April 2, 2005 Posted: 1540 GMT (2340 HKT) http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/04/02/schiavo.ap
TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- The autopsy of Terri Schiavo has been completed, and the body is ready for release to her husband, who plans to cremate her remains and bury the ashes in an unspecified family plot.
Results from the autopsy, which was completed Friday, will not be released for several weeks, according to the medical examiner's office.
Michael Schiavo has said he hopes the autopsy will settle questions about his wife's medical condition, but experts differ on whether that will happen. He declined to comment Friday.
Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, and Michael Schiavo spent Friday planning separate funerals for the 41-year-old woman, who died Thursday -- nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was removed
Michael Schiavo's family has said he plans to take the cremated remains to Pennsylvania, where Terri Schiavo grew up, but her parents and siblings had wanted to bury her body in Florida so they can visit her grave.
David Gibbs, the Schindlers' attorney, said there have been no further discussions between the two parties about the remains. The Schindlers do not plan to press the issue in court, he said.
"The court has already determined that (Michael Schiavo) will control the burial decisions," Gibbs said.
Michael Schiavo's brother, Scott Schiavo, had said Thursday that the Schindlers might not be informed of the burial location near Philadelphia because his family did not want to turn it into a media spectacle.
However, Michael Schiavo has been ordered by the court to disclose the location of the burial site to the family and inform them of any memorial service he plans.

A lock of her hair could possibly be used for DNA testing. Ashes have also been used in at least one case for chemical testing as well. In that case it was for arsenic which I doubt is an issue here but I bet Greer wasn't taking any chances.
I bet he cares about his "reputation."
The only nut cases I see in this whole case are Michael Schiavo, Greer, and Felos.
CONSCIENCE? GIVE ME A BRAKE, ANYONE WHO WILL SENTENCE A PERSON TO DEATH WITH THE AID OF MS. AND FELOS DOESN'T HAVE A CONSCIENCE, EXAMPLE, HITLER AND GERM!ANY!
No doubt, egocentrist' such as himself are acutely sensitive to public opinion
So you believe anything not specificially granted in the Constitution isn't permitted???
I bet before the order to divulge the location, MS didn't really have one unless you call his toilet a burial site.
they arent taking any chances are they ?
Ah, but do we not "throw ourselves upon the mercy of the courts?". Apparently, mercy is merely an option in the pact between the courts and the people. Denial of a lock of a dead child's hair to a parent would not be the comment of a kindly jurist. A punctilious one, perhaps.
From "Dead Man Walking"
All you hypocrites and liars
In the temple seeking gain
All you senators and lawyers
With your motives to explain
All you victims and you heroes
Your petitions to complain
All you murderers and martyrs
On the fields where you lay slain
On the just and unjust
Alike it doth rain
And the quality of mercy is not strained
Yes vengeance and revenge
Are just two words for pain
And the quality of mercy is not strained
Did not I crucify my Lord?
Did not I bind Him in chains?
Did not I three times betray Him?
Three times deny His name?
Did not I cast the first stone?
Then justify the blame?
Did not He die for my sins
But never would I do the same?
Oh I've been three times a sinner
And two times a saint
And the quality of mercy is not strained
Yes for Love if it's Love
Is changing but unchanged
And the quality of mercy is not strained
Hypocrites and liars
Senators and lawyers
Victims and heroes
Murderers and martyrs
Crucify my Lord
Bind Him in chains
Three times betray Him
Justify the blame
On the just and unjust
Alike it doth rain
And the quality of mercy is not strained
Worth repeating.
Pseudojudge, who never took the Oath of Office, Greer should be arrested tomorrow, then tried, and convicted for conspiracy to murder.
Seriously under what grounds does he keep issuing these court orders?
He obviously doesn't have a conscience.
I think a serious look at "PVS" and the role the sheeple have abrogated to clinicians in defining and assessing it, deserves its own thread.
I bet the ME's office will ONLY do the standard autopsy and nothing more OR less. I doubt they will do an x-ray examination for any tell tale fractures.
It will be precise under ME policy, it will be precise under the rules of FL law. The results however, will not be accurate.
Gee ... I thought the Schiavo family put a muzzle on Scott & Steve and gave the spokesman job to Bruce?
Should be interesting to hear them calling into my local talk radio again
Or CYA.
The only person "hurt" by this would be Michael Schiavo. One small piece of Terri that he did not have total control over, even back into the earth.
