"She died of dehydration,"
Well, duh! Michael Schiavo needed to legalize his wife's murder & Judge Greer needed to legitimize Michael Schiavo's murder of his wife. Both accomplished their goals.
What doesn't change is that her parents wanted to care for her and keep her alive, whatever her state, while her husband wanted her to die. Why Schiavo was so intent on letting her die, is what was, and remains, suspect. Just plain meanness, perhaps.
