Agreed. How much more perfect than having a court order that it be done.

[jonrick46]

It did not matter what Michael Schiavo wanted in regards to the autopsy. The autopsy was required by Florida State law. This was one law that George Felos could not change in his haste to discard poor Terri Schiavo like some old carpet.

[OkieAcres]

Agreed. And may he have extra mercy on my soul. I need it!

[Awestruck]

wow.. you live on another planet don't you?

[FormerACLUmember]

Micheal Schiavo is the "greatest" wife murderer in all of history.

Until of course until he, Felos, and Greer meet the Big Guy.

[Diogenesis]

What part of "SHALL" which the Congress ordered,
or 'coverup' which the Pinellas-Scientology-Murder-for-$$$$$-Scheme used,
don't you understand?

Broken bones and brain scan evidence ---- G O N E

Or can a scientist detect such things from the ashes, providing they don't get flushed?

Are you for real?

[beckysueb]

I read somewhere in a thread here on FR that the law in Florida was changed some years back to require autopsies on all bodies to be cremated.

I heard it on Fox news on TV the day Terri died but I don't know what the truth is anymore. I think I am suffering from News overload.

Terri Schiavo cremated amid family feud

	Posted on Sat, Apr. 02, 2005
	Terri Schiavo cremated amid family feud VICKIE CHACHERE Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. - Terri Schiavo's body was cremated Saturday as disagreements continued between her husband and her parents, who were unable to have their own independent expert observe her autopsy. The cremation was carried out according to a court order issued Tuesday establishing that Michael Schiavo had the right to make such decisions, said his lawyer, George Felos. He said plans for burying her ashes in Pennsylvania, where she grew up, had not yet been completed. Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had wanted to bury their daughter in Pinellas County so they could visit her grave. Terri Schiavo, 41, died Thursday after the removal of the feeding tube that had kept her alive since 1990, when she suffered brain damage that court-appointed doctors determined had placed her in a persistent vegetative state. Her parents had fought in court to keep her alive, disputing the doctors' opinions and saying there was hope of improvement. Michael Schiavo has not spoken publicly since his wife's death, but Felos said Saturday: "He's holding up. It's very difficult for him." Michael Schiavo is required to tell his wife's parents of any memorial services he plans for Terri Schiavo and where her ashes are interred. The Schindlers plan to have their own memorial service Tuesday at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Gulfport. The Schindlers had sought to have independent medical experts observe their daughter's autopsy at the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's office, but the agency refused their request, family attorneys David Gibbs III and Barbara Weller said Saturday. The autopsy was completed Friday, the day after Terri Schiavo died, and results are not expected for several weeks. Representatives of the medical examiner's office did not return a call seeking comment Saturday. The examiner's office has said it would conduct routine examinations and look for any evidence of what might have caused her 1990 collapse. The Schindlers have accused Michael Schiavo of abusing his wife, a charge he vehemently denies. Over the years, the couple have sought independent investigation of their daughter's condition and what caused it. Abuse complaints to state social workers were ruled unfounded - although one investigation remains open - and the Pinellas state attorney's office did not turn up evidence of abuse in one brief probe of the case. Gibbs said the medical examiner's videotape, pictures and tissue samples from the autopsy could be reviewed by other experts if the family asks. While the autopsy report will be a public document, images will not be made public under a 2001 law passed after the death of race car driver Dale Earnhardt.

I look forward to that day, with GREAT relish!

[Zeppelin]

Haha yeah I noted that in my post #174. Read it. =P

[PatriotGirl827]

We do have our share of "bad eggs" down here, but I have lived here since 1968, and I can tell you that there are plenty of good people, too.

Of course, much has changed since we first came here. It has grown like crazy, and many folks from up north have moved down here, especially New Yorkers. In any area, whenever you have such a huge influx of people and expansion in such a short period of time, bad things can happen.

On the other hand, I live in Palm Beach County, which even though it is bluer than blue, until this Terri Schiavo story came to light, I had never heard of anything like the "corruption" in Pinellas County.

[Zeppelin]

I'm sorry, post #169

[PatriotGirl827]

And Mikey admitted under oath that Terri never had bulimia.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

[Hand em their arse]

"Probably said yeah Terri told me I want to be cremated instantly."


Come on Freedom, you know better than that.. What she really said was "I want to be cremated instantly, just in case you may have conspired with many others to complete my murder..."

Everybody knows that!!
