Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.
Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.
"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."
The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."
"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."
Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.
"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

Scott Thomas: Jacksonville's Terri Schindler

"During this Christmas season, may our prayers be answered for Scott Thomas."
I couldn't agree more, 8mm. The most productive thing we can do is to help Scott Thomas as we remember those that have fallen victim to the system.
People says that Mikey and Terri's parents may never speak again. They haven't spoken since Valentine's Day of 1993---coincidentally the birthday of Mikey's concubine Jodi Centonze---when Michael Schiavo and Bob Schindler got into an argument and Michael threatened Terri's father that they'd never see Terri again.
Maybe this is the promise that Michael refers to on Terri's tombstone, seeing as he spent so much time trying to separate her from them for the next several years. How typical of controlling, insecure, abusive people.
If Mikey thinks that setting up a PAC is going to get rid of all the people who vilified him, he's got another thing coming. Good, honest people will always be a thorn in Michael's side. He'll work himself into a corner (hasn't he already?).
People Magazine should come out with another issue labelled "Stuck on Stupid". Michael would win that one hands down!
Mikey and the Murderers. Now that's catchy!!
May God richly bless Scott and his mom.
I'll never buy People magazine. What a propaganda piece.
His publishers must have been worried about the sale of the book (note it was prominently mentioned) and twisted a few arms at the magazine or offered perks.
It gets even better: State Attorney Bernie McCabe, trying to keep his good old boy network together, announces that JUDGE DOWNEY did not commit a crime. See how they work and right before the holidays so we'll forget what a bunch of cronies they all are!
DOWNEY'S BACK to the bench after the holidays. He's not a pervert. What was that hard drive thinking? What was the woman he sexually harrassed thinking?
So, as you know, after they are proven innocent (sure), the awards start rolling in. JUDGE DOWNEY will be getting awards for downloading porn and sexually harassing female attorneys. Why not? GREER got numerous awards for killing someone.
I nominate Judge Downey for emailing an attorney that she ... "looked good enough to..." Give him a prime rib dinner with that and be sure and have Fla AG Crist give the keynote calling Downey him a hero for porn.
Merry Christmas, OFF.

He lied to People Magazine just like he lied to Larry King. Larry King even said later on the following, "He lied to me."
Being a liar is not a big deal in DEATH CENTRAL, Pinellas County.
Merry Christmas, FV! Hugs from chilly Ohio to slightly warmer Florida!
Well that's an easy one! Greer was sure the one calling all the shots!
Felos has been very quiet lately...he hasn't given an interview in awhile. I wonder what he's up to?
Now it's Florida Felos' Waiting Room
Mikey and The Murders
Felos and The Felons
Greer and The Greeds
Watch for their appearance at your local hospital or hospice center! NOTE: There will be a 'cover' charge!
"So called psychologist pronounces that Judge Downey IS NOT ADDICTED TO PORN"
Another wonderful judge from the west coast. Joe Redner will be proud of him no doubt. Birds of a feather..
