they already did the autopsy (sp?) though it will be a few weeks for the results to be in. MS wanted the autopsy done.

And this, after the judge barred unsealing the 89 reports of spousal abuse which were filed about Terri.

Of course, the offical autopsy will only reveal she was beautiful in death. . .

MS wanted the autopsy done.

Florida law required an autopsy be done.

MS only publically asked for one after that fact came to light.

MS wanted the autopsy done.

The state of Florida requires an autopsy if a body is to be cremated. MS had no choice.

I heard that there was going to be an autopsy whether MS wanted it or not and when that was decided then suddenly Felos was announcing that MS wanted an autopsy - to clear his name sort of - but now the autopsy has been ordered sealed by Greer...

I can't believe they expect us to swallow this. They must hope their friends will protect them until the media interest dies down and we'll all just go away.

Actually, even though MS was trying to appear magnanimous - its the law in Florida that if there is to be a cremation there must be an autopsy.
I find it particular disgusting that MS will not tell her parents where Teri's remains are to be interned.

Good thing Mikie "wanted" an autopsy because this was one last aspect of Terri's life and death HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER. By Fl law autopsy is mandatory if body to be cremated.

I wonder if the autopsy will confirm the medical opinions that Terri never suffered a heart attack. That will perhaps lead to a reinvestigation of the "bulimia" collapse story. I also hope the ME looked for evidence of insulin poisoning, although don't know how long such evidence would remain in her body.

Whatever. Wanted it done or had no choice? Didn't give Felos much time to hunt up a death cult member to rubber stamp the already written up report.

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.

[PleaseNoMore]

Michael Shciavo's "wants" had nothing to do with Teri being cremated. Florida law allows for it as the ME specifically noted.

Dear Maine:

According to Florida law, an autopsy was REQUIRED if the body was going to be cremeated. This was discovered on FR two days before MS indicated he wanted it done to clear his name.

In other words, when he started insisting he wanted her cremated, he didn't have a CHOICE.

Sorry, Maine-ah. Should have read further down the posts before hitting reply. I see others have already pointed this out. Didn't mean to gang up on you :)
