Quote: any signs of violence would have healed in the decade and a half that transpired since her initial coma. My Dad had a heart attack 20 years ago and never new it. The doctor that did his test said he had one based upon the dead tissue and said it was at least 20 years ago.

Yes but they are saying there was no sign of a heart attack at all! So what did cut off the oxygen to her brain? They've always said her heart stopped.. but isn't THAT a heart attack?

Seems like they are telling us what didn't happen but giving no information on what did.

A heart stopping for reasons other than a heart attack is quite common. Many things can make a heart stop and leave no damage. A heart becomes damaged during a normal heart attack when the blood supply going to the muscles of the heart is reduced or stopped, this causes muscles to die and leaves a scar tissue. If Terri's heart stopped because of an electrical problem, some type of ventricular fib for instance, there would be no scars. Other wise all deaths would show up as heart attacks on an autopsy because everyone who dies heart stops at one point or another.
