PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Medical examiners concluded an autopsy on Terri Schiavo on Friday, and prepared to release her remains to family members who continued to fight bitterly over the case of the brain-damaged woman who became the flashpoint for a nationwide debate over right-to-die issues. "The examination included routine forensic autopsy procedures, supplemented by full post mortem X-rays," the Pinellas County, Fla., medical examiner's office said in a statement. "Terri Schiavo's remains are ready for release to the establishment selected by the legally authorized person, for purposes of final disposition. "

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.

I've been trying to find out Pennsylvania law regarding the handling of human remains.

The only thing I have figured out so far is that if MS does indeed plan to inter her ashes in any cemetary in the state it would be in public records.

They might have to check every cemetary as I don't know if there is one central agency.
