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."

Now we can see what meanies we are for criticizing the actions of lovable cuddly Judge Greed.
Just in case we forget who we face as the enemy of us, of Terri, here is an article written by Catherine Crier and featured by none other than the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Yes, I said Communist Party.
"In the wake of the Terri Schiavo debacle, I wanted to write a book in defense of the federal court system and its judges and to explain how, though imperfect, the system has evolved very much as its founders intended.
"But I don't want that anymore. Now I want this book to be a wake-up call, a warning flare, a political stun grenade that provokes the silent majority of this country to stand up and take notice … For all of those Americans who believe that our democracy is safe, you are wrong. Today, the radical Right is winning, and they know it. Sooner rather than later, we may be living in a very different country, a country that had been ours, a country that will be theirs."

bttt for later
Notice that Clinton got it wrong again! He talks of the great grief of the Schiavo family, Schiavo was dancing in the streets in glee. It was the Schindlers who were suffering the horrendous, torturous murder of threir beloved daughter and sister as also millions of us as well.
Everyone on Free Republic should follow the links from your post at 541. It spells out what is really going on, and who we are fighting. There was much more to Terri's case than the supposed "Right to die".
Florida's dem party is haywire and the GOP is split. Next year will be quite a time. I have a feeling that both parties have turned off voters here.
If not jail, being that it's Pinellas County, they may just Baker Act her, put her money in the dummy trust set up for wards of the state and they'll bump her off when her money's gone cuz they robbed her.
Goodnight, Jebediah. I assume that you were saying goodnight last night but what the hey.
541 bump. Wake up call time for freepers and lurkers.

So, the commies are using the courts to overthrow the govt and Catherine Crier is one of their heroes. I think she's possessed and full of herself.
I didn't have a high regard for her in recent times, but my jaw dropped when I saw the blatant link. At first I thought it was simply the Democrat talking points. Well, not far off!

A while back I followed a link to the Democratic Socialist site. The site had some of the members listed...I was surprised to see a lot of our state reps names there.
The DSAUSA once had a listing but I don't see it anymore. Some time ago, I opened the communist party website, CPUSA.org and found a direct link to MoveOn.org and the info on the sites matched anyway, as if same talking points. Of course Gore was featured. But that link button disappeared, too.
