Ashes of Terri Schiavo buried 12 minutes ago
The remains of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman whose fate sparked a highly politicized right-to-die battle, were buried on Monday in Florida, her husband's lawyer said.
The interment of Schiavo's ashes took place nearly three months after she died and five days after pathologists released results of an autopsy that showed her to have had massive brain damage and no hope of recovery. Her condition resulted from a collapse in 1990 that deprived her brain of oxygen.
The burial at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, Florida, was held in the presence of her husband, Michael Schiavo, some of his brothers and a priest, attorney George Felos said in a brief statement.
The autopsy results supported court findings during a long legal battle between Schiavo's parents and her husband that she was in a persistent vegetative state, meaning she could not think or feel, pathologists who conducted the autopsy said last week.
The courts consistently supported Michael Schiavo's stance that his wife would not have wanted to live in this state and should be allowed to die.
Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, believed she had some hope for recovery and fought for seven years to keep her alive in a campaign that attracted support from right-to-life activists, Christian evangelicals and the Vatican.

Helpful Hint: Actually think before you post and count to ten and read it again before Post.
Answer please: The 99 of 100 who claimed to "claim about her wellbeing"...whose sincerity you doubt, what was their actual reason for the pretense?
I plan to buy Mark Fuhrman's book, Silent Witness. It should be out by the 28th, sometimes they come out a little earlier than the announced date.
I hope so. But I'm afraid we might see otherwise.
To be honest this is the very first terry Schivo thread I have ever posted to, believe it or not. It must be a good thing tho because a troll was outted and I got in befor the ZOT ! ! ! !
The zotee was totally off the mark bringing 9-11 and psuedo conservative failures into the subject. It was a justifiable zotting.

I have gotten that feeling also and had a slight quiver just after I posted my sarcastic remark in #4, not knowing the wrath I might have to endure by breeching protocol, but I am really quite sick of this subject. It immediatly prompted so many knee jerk reactions and made people jump to such outrageous conclusions and bassackwards assumptions that I avoided every single one except to lurk in amazement at what was happening.
I will just crawl back under my rock now.
I plan to get the day someone tells me it is released! I will be racing to Barnes and Noble!
I once let my wife hire a contractor whose favorite phrase was. "I'm gonna be honest with you, now...
Did not turn out well.
I think most of the posters are good and decent people - they just have a difference of opinion (similar to between Republicans and Democrats or rival school football teams)...
And, most of all, I really wish that the personal attacks (calling posters "Death Cultists" and "Terribots", making fun of one's appearance, infantile drawings, etc.) would cease and desist because they only make the poster look ugly and hateful...
Well, there's my opinion - FWIW... :o)
Bump and ping to the latest one. Get a load o' this.
I think you'll do fine here. Welcome to active posting at FR.
Whoa, you disagree with me so you decide to mock me. Whatever happened to respectful debate.
Answer please: The 99 of 100 who claimed to "claim about her wellbeing"...whose sincerity you doubt, what was their actual reason for the pretense?
First of all the fact that as soon as the poor woman passed she was replaced on the America Consciousness by Celebrity Trial/Breakup/Pregnancy du jour. Or the fact that the activists never took it upon themselves to affect some real change instead of using kids with cups in some sort of halfhearted publicity stunt.
What do you mean?
I agree. There was no reason for us to quit being civil to each other.
Boston Tea Party.
Dressed as Indians?
Looking forward to that as well. . .a bump for Mark's book ;^) that hopefully will be a best seller immediately.
You have every right to voice your opinion here on FR and I'd like to think that everyone respects that no matter what their point of view on any given topic. I agree with what you've said as well. :)
Last week Sean had the brother on, and the brother said they STILL didn't know where Terri was.
Michael was asserting his control again by not informing the family what was going on. How long has it been now, 10 weeks or so?
I can just imagine the phone call. "Michael, Felos here. It doesn't look good, that you still are holding the ashes. Time to bury them, and you better tell the family. By the way, how was your book deal trip to NY?"
Here's hoping it outsells Felos' barf fest "Litigation As Spirtual Practice"
V. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei.
R. Requiescat in pace.
DOH! As Marge Simpson once said, "Homey, I can only hope that if I should collapse one night and am unconscious, you will first call my brother to come over and then wait a real long time to call 911." "DOH! NO PROBLEM!" says Homey.
Is that sort of how it was, or am I misinformed?
