You state the case wrong. The claim was that he pinned her head (or neck) down too, along with putting his weight on her back. I invited you to be the guinea pig for a follow-up study on the stated terms. Are you quite certain it's safe?
Heck, T’wit, it looks like you’re doing all the work. Maybe I can add a little something:
“Michael Schiavo: Coincidence or PROBABLE CAUSE?
The author, doing medical research, discovered a “smoking gun” - an obscure 1994 Government Study that revealed how Theresa Shiavo’s hospital admission virtually parallels Emergency Room admissions caused by trauma such as physical spousal abuse - wife beating, which would account for her Hypokalemia diagnosis, cardiac arrest, etc. This was further confirmed by a larger detailed study published by the National Institute of Health in 2002.
Hypokalemia caused by trauma is unique in that blood serum K+ levels return to normal about 24 hours after trauma. Theresa Schiavo, although receiving Ka+ electrolyte intervention, did not have K+ return to limits until about 24 hours later. Closed head injury, neck trauma, elevated glycemic levels, along with cardiac arrest, irregular heartbeat, and and other Predictors, were also present.
“Frequent Hypokalemia was noted immediately after trauma... ...Admission Hypokalemia (K < 3.6 meq/l) was more frequent in those with closed head injuries (41.1% vs. 27.5%, P < .001) and in those who suffered spinal cord injuries (54.5% vs. 33.6%, P < .05). Hyperglycemia was more frequent with admission Hypokalemia (45.2% vs. 29.7%, P < .001). Hypokalemia occurred more frequently in younger patients (28.6 vs. 37.7 y, P < .001)..... ....Additionally, Hypokalemia was a positive predictor of ISS (P = .05). Hypokalemic patients more likely needed a ventilator, (26.6% vs. 16.5%, P < .01)....

Additional skeletal trauma to Theresa Schiavo was documented at her autopsy.
Although Michael Schiavo claimed that Theresa Schiavo drank 10 to 15 glasses of iced tea per day (which could reduce electrolytes), iced tea would not give his wife trauma. According to the National Institute of Health, TRAUMA is the proximate cause of severe Hypokalemia (Theresa Schiavo’s admission K=2.0, which is morbidly severe). Husband Michael Schiavo was the only person present to inflict that trauma.”
