There has been very little mention of this in local news, and I think it is because there are so many parallels to another closely watched death.

Not surprising that the media is ignoring this, but it is absolutely disgusting that they refuse to report extensively on what happened. You're right, they're avoiding it because it undercuts their "Michael Schiavo is a hero" meme.

from the article ---
A March 17 indictment charged Dougherty with manslaughter and abuse.

Terri's feeding was discontinued on March 18

Dougherty's live-in girlfriend, Kathleen Marie Zeman, 32, was indicted last month on a misdemeanor charge of abuse and neglect.

---snip---

Dougherty's children, ages 10, 13 and 16, and Zeman's children, ages 9 and 14, are in foster care.

What a horrible situation for those children to have experienced. There really is nonly one reason why this did not become a big talk show and news topic. - the too close to call parallels.
