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."

I will NEVER vote for JB. He's got blood on his hands.
Law and Order SVU, i call it SVU for short. It is on Tuesday nights and tomorrow nights episode is suppose to be somewhat spun off of the Terri story. I doubht it will be anything like the real Terri story but should be interesting to watch.
I can't stand seeing this gravestone!
Bobby Schindler will be speaking in Albany, NY this Friday evening. Anyone living near there who is interested, please PM me for details.
I e-mailed the New York State Right-to-Life Comittee on Friday about June's dad. I guess because of the weekend they didn't see my e-mail until today. So today I received a phone call from them, and they said they have been getting reports such as this throughout NYS.
Please keep the Right-to-Life Committee in a particular state in mind the next time we hear about a forced euthanasia attempt.
It's because there should be no gravestone. Terri should be enjoying life and liberty like we are doing and like Judge Greer and company get to do in spite of their corrupt, unthinkable actions.
Is Law & Order SVU different than Law & Order? They took elements of Terri's case. In case it's the same one, I won't tell you anything else about it, like how it ends.
No, they aren't the same. Was it Law and Order than copied Terri's story a bit or SVU's? If it was the regular Law and Order did it already air? If not when is it going to again?
I can't watch. Can you do a summary of this tv show on the thread here for those who have to miss it, a simple summary?
If something really ticks you off, please post your comments here too. IF THEY'D LIKE TO, I would ask any freepers who watch the show to put their comments on this thread tomorrow evening.

The 23rd Psalm display which stood at the Oglethorpe County Courthouse in Lexington, Georgia, has been removed amidst the threat of a lawsuit from the ACLU. The Georgia chapter of America’s so-called protector of all freedoms called the display essentially the same as a Ten Commandments display.
Oh, I will watch and if there are any comparissons I will let everyone know!
