MIAMI - The family of a severely brain-damaged woman who died after her feeding tube was removed in March said Friday they still have not been told where her remains will be laid to rest.
Terri Schiavo's parents and siblings, who waged a lengthy court battle over her end-of-life wishes, said on Fox's "Hannity & Colmes" show that her husband is keeping her remains from them.
"They were supposed to tell us, and we still have not heard from ... Michael Schiavo where Terri's been laid," said Terri Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler. "Our family expected this. Michael has disobeyed court orders throughout the ordeal and continues to do so today."
Michael Schiavo is under court order to notify the Schindlers of his plans for a memorial service. He has had his wife cremated and has said her ashes would be buried at a family plot in Pennsylvania.
George Felos, Michael Schiavo's attorney, did not immediately return a call Friday night seeking comment.
Terri Schiavo, 41, died March 31 in a Pinellas Park hospice, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed by court order. She suffered brain damage in 1990 after a chemical imbalance caused her heart to stop.
She left no written instructions in the event she became disabled, and her husband said she never would have wanted to be kept alive in what court-appointed doctors called a persistent vegetative state with no hope of recovery.
The Schindlers, however, doubted she had any such end-of-life wishes. They maintained she would benefit from rehabilitation, despite most doctors saying her condition was irreversible
MS must have a vile temper. 'Nuff said.
How he comported himself is class?????
more like "class", just take of the first two letters.
You guys are unbelievable!!!!
"Let's just throw that out and listen to a faux conservative like Krauthammer."
No, it means that since Michael was no longer living with Terri--and in fact had a "de facto" marital relationship with another woman, her parents should naturally have had the final say. Marriages come and go, but parenthood lasts for ever. Keep in mind, too, that it is possible for a spouse to have nefarious intent towards another spouse, but unthinkable for a parent to have nefarious intent towards a child. IMHO if parents are still alive, THEY should be the final arbiters of a disabled childs health matters, NOT the spouse.
Stay off this thread. Thank you.
Lovely. How eloquently put. /s
Could any one who is praising Mark Fuhrman tell me why, if he had all this information, he didn't come forward with it while Terri was alive? After all the book is being released just under 3 months after her death. Surely he had all this information earlier.
Andrea Pia Yates.
I read last night on Newsmax that Mark Furhman is investigating Terri Schiavo's case.

"But he won't defy a Court Order and he won't flushed her ashes down the commode"
Don't be so sure. It's widely established that MS was a wife-beater (against the law in all 50 states). Since he has already broken one law, why do you think he'll not break another one. Besides, even if he is convicted of violating a court order by destroying TS' remains, what would the punishment be? 50 hours of feeding the homeless or picking up papers along the road? Big deal.
Under the new rules,
I believe all those people
are just Nazis thugs . . .
"Andrea Pia Yates."
Bad analogy. She was insane.
Her family has maintained that she wasn't.
It flushed out the CINO's.
It gave a new meaning to "situational ethics".
There in lies the rub. It says his "plans for a memorial service". If he's not had one?
"It flushed out the CINO's"
my point exactly.
Nope. I can't imagine why Michael's staying quiet about the burial site. No siree.
Terri's parents brought it to the nation's attention. If you feel it isn't any of your business, ignore it.
"Nope. I can't imagine why Michael's staying quiet about the burial site. No siree."
Another CINO heard from!
