I want to know how and why and WHO bathed Terri BEFORE her BODY was given over to the coroner's office.

Is there some way I can get the information? Would the HOSPICE answer this?

I doubt hospice will answer any questions.

"It's our understanding that the Schindlers spent some time with Terri's body," Felos said. "They were free to spend as much time as they chose with her body. After they left, the hospice workers bathed Terri's body, and Mr. Schiavo and all of us went back in to spend some more time." Michael Schiavo was not present in the room during their visit.

At one point about 30 to 40 hospice workers, many of whom had stayed past their shifts, formed a circle around Terri Schiavo's body, Felos said. A hospice chaplain said a prayer, he said.

"It was a very emotional moment for many of us there," Felos said.

Is it against the law for them to bath the corpse before sending it to the coroner? In a way I find it odd that she was bathed since she was dead anyways and going to be all chopped up by the ME.
