it all depends , people looking at corps can draw any conclusions depending on their fantasies:

Cyclops Myth Spurred by "One-Eyed" Fossils?

Ever wonder where our worst nightmares come from?
For the ancient Greeks, it may have been the fossils of giant prehistoric animals.
The tusk, several teeth, and some bones of a Deinotherium giganteum, which, loosely translated means really huge terrible beast, have been found on the Greek island Crete. A distant relative to today's elephants, the giant mammal stood 15 feet (4.6 meters) tall at the shoulder, and had tusks that were 4.5 feet (1.3 meters) long. It was one of the largest mammals ever to walk the face of the Earth.

" Schiavo autopsy vindicates husband "
And yet from the same article-
" But the cause of her collapse 15 years ago remains a mystery."
Must be a British thing.
I didn't see the part where Sciavo's lawyer says they're going to release autopsy pictures of her brain. It's mentioned in the Fox article and I think in the CNN.com article as well. Pretty sick.
I wonder if her low brain weight had anything to do with the fact that she died of dehydration?
I saw the Coroner's press conference. He plainly stated that she died of dehydration. How, exactly, that "vindicates" the husband is beyond me.
You're about the 100th person to mention it. You know, I'd guess her level of dehydration and it's effect probably occured to the medical examiners too.
Has anyone considered that possibly 13 days of starvation and 15 years of no stimuli would have caused even any brain to shrink?
These are interesting keywords.
If Greer's brain were in a jar, it would be labeled "Abbe-normal". Too bad he's blind, I'd like him to read this:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1423759/posts
Wasn't the lawsuit Michael won against the doctor who failed to recognize her eating disorder?
Appears many are on the same page of thought.
It seemed to me this news reporting was another try at justification of killing this lady.
Every time the "so called" husband is mentioned I feel like a screech on a chalkboard. What a husband he was. Wouldn't we all love to have a devoted spouse like him.
You and I differ on the motives of the people involved.
"I saw the Coroner's press conference. He plainly stated that she died of dehydration. How, exactly, that "vindicates" the husband is beyond me."
Politics couldn't have anything to do with it, not in Florida.
Have you read the report? Maybe they did. As for me, I'm not going to act like my own speculation on the weight of a woman's brain is remotely useful.
The MD giving the report today admitted he could not determine brain activity on a dead brain.
If she was blind as he stated, how could she be expected to recognize people or objects when tested for cognitive awareness of her environment?
ping!
