Terri Schiavo Cremated Amid Family Feud

Saturday, April 02, 2005

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.

With all that information out there, I wonder why no one is jumping on it and filing charges.

I suspect he fainted and fell over when he found out that a autopsy was required for anyone to be cremated. In his effort to destroy the evidence, he stupidly stumbled into his own undoing. Psychopaths are by nature stupid.

Did you see A&E's show on this case????

I get neither cable nor satellite.

[antceecee]

Infantile? Is it just a coincidence, I just was wondering.....why should that be infantile?

I don't think so. If he didn't think he'd get a favorable autopsy, he could simply have removed the body from the state for a Pennsylvania burial, and then once the body was out of Florida cremated it there (or in some 'friendly' state).

This is something I have wondered about: If Terri's wishes were not to live like a vegetable, than were there also wishes about her desire to stay married to a man who violated their marriage vows by committing adultery? The divorce should have been immediate. Why would one "wish" supersede any others? This would have stopped Michael Schiavo's legal guardianship over her.

They denied her food and water and used morphine to keep her from screaming in pain. Such good doctors. So much for the Hippocratic Oath: "I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice."

and used morphine to keep her from screaming in pain.

That's the illogical part of their story. Why morphine for pain if she was PVS? They haven't explained that yet.

Because being PVS doesn't prevent one from having "pain reflexes", and such "reflexes" don't count as responses to stimuli.

Sorry, I won't do it again.

Thank you.

[jonrick46]

let's hope that Dr. John Thogmartin, the Medical Examiner, is not one of the paid help for George Felos. It would only add to the travesty of justice that has occurred so far.

I just hope you are right. Unfortunately, as stupid as MS is, he has a very smart lawyer who has connections in his death club and knows how to "fix" things.

"What the heck is wrong with Florida?"
I've wondered that more and more. It seems there's only dreadful news coming out of Florida lately. Natural disasters and gawd-awful people.

Lots of threads bashing Florida lately, native Floridians are mostly nice, warm and decent people, the problem is the prevailing majority of population is imported, lots of them scum and trash from all sround the country keep coming here in large numbers.

You? She was not terminal. And you... are a distruptor.
