"Schiavo lost her ability to function physically or mentally on Feb. 25, 1990, after her heart stopped as a result of an eating disorder."

Nobody knows why her heart stopped. An eating disorder was one theory, it remains unproven.

The Eating Disorder was ruled out by the autopsy and the M.E. found the Heart to be very healthy with no damage present. Hence, it really looks like O2 deprivation via Strangulation, denial of blood flow and hence O2 to the brain. Bad news for the HINO!
