He certainly was not. I've read the autopsy report three times now, plus browsing. It says nothing of the sort. Drs. Thogmartin and Nelson were at pains to say, in the report and in press conferences, that an autopsy CANNOT determine PVS status. That can only be done with a living patient, and only with repeated examinations over time.
The autopsy report supported PVS. The diagnosis of PVS was made by other docs over many years. Terri never changed. The autopsy report determined that she was blind for a long time and if you say Cheshire examined her and he said she follows objects, then he's either a liar, or totally incompetent.
I didn't say that. I told you Cheshire was not permitted to examine her. It was your doc, Ronald Cranford, who said that, in the course of his exam. It was videotaped. So, was Cranford lying? Or incompetent?
