Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.
Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.
"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."
The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."
"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."
Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.
"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

I guess the atheists and aclu needed a card carrying member in there to report back and also, the friend thing with the Judge.
Just wanted to say hi. I'm supposed to be doing housework but here I am at FR.
Congressman Dave Weldon, a Florida Republican, proposed legislation in the House that was eventually passed by a strong bipartisan vote to instruct the judges to reconsider Terri's parents' lawsuit to save her life. He told the newspaper Michael's group is a "political stunt" because it will primarily attack pro-life and Republican lawmakers like him.
Still, he's hoping some good comes from the group, if only to help Americans see the length some will go to end the lives of people who need basic medical care and treatment.
"It might be good to have some debate on this issue: the right to access to food and water versus the so-called right to die," Weldon said.
Michael inserted himself into the Virginia governor's race, even though he is a Florida resident. He sided against GOP candidate Jerry Kilgore because of his comments against "forced starvation" when Terri's name came up in a debate.
FV SAYS: Dave Weldon is a source of inspiration and hope for me. His staff is courteous too. They are always working on preventing judicial homicide. I hope the US Congress does something to fix broken and/or ignored laws before the 2006 primaries.
If the American people would realize that we are not talking about natural death. At this point, judges are mandating plain old murder disguised as a wish. I used to like "wishes" until the felon ran with it and turned it into an ugly word.
The list could go on forever. He'll never finish punishing the whole world.
I didn't ever recall that all this revenge was part of his promise to Terri, did you?
I don't get it. Mikie threatened for years and finally, actually killed his wife. Why is he walking around?
If this woman gets the right lawyer, I think she could really make some good arguments in court.
Hi to you, FV. How are you doing? You're doing a wonderful job of keeping Terri's murder in the forefront and educating me in the process!
They are spinning that it was wrong to try to save Terri. It was right to save Terri, why didn't they?
An excerpt from the Palm Beach Post which is a liberal paper: WASHINGTON — Voter revulsion over Republican ethics lapses and the party's efforts to keep brain-damaged Terri Schiavo alive last spring could cost it control of Congress next year, a senior GOP House member said Thursday.
Millions of people were not wrong no matter what excuses they are trying out pre-2006 elections. FV
And, Senator Jim King from Jacksonville should go to jail. He's a bad republican.
This is when Jeb Bush said he would not overstep his authority which was POPPYCOCK. Now he has Michael Schiavo dueling with the Republican Party and Jeb also has Republicans upset that he didn't protect Terri. Jeb is boxed in. He did it to himself.

Meanwhile, his nursing license is still under investigation because his application allegedly has misrepresentations about his credentials.
There was perjury in the court cases but with Judge Greer on his payroll, HINO could say anything he wanted to, truth or untrue. HINO had two or three no shows for depositions and Greer never held HINO in contempt. HINO never had to be deposed in 2003 or 2004 and the stall tactic was employed and Greer agreed to it because they all knew the FIX WAS IN.

Democrats win, aclu wins, and the conservative republicans who said how this was interfering in a private matter are in the same camp as the aclu and George Soros. Stupid conservatives didn't do their research.
On the other hand, the poster at AOL who posted a threat, can't she plead out?
Watch the convict get a better deal than a woman who typed more than she should have. The woman in trouble didn't realize at the time that the people responsible for Terri are going to get their's in a matter of time and that we don't have to be involved. It is just going to happen - karma, you know?

Demerol overdose.
"One published report said Jackson was "isolated and intoxicated" on prescription pills and worried family members were planning a rescue mission to the Middle Eastern nation."

This may seem like an odd question; but, does Senator Jim King have anything to do with King's College School of Medicine, London, England?
I noticed that King's College School of Medicine is a recipient of a significant amount of cash from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Johnson & Johnson.
Calpernia, I don't know about Jim King but do you supposed Michael Jackson committed suicide? See my last post.
It's not on cable news yet but internet news reports that Michael Jackson is dead. It's amazing how slow cable news can be. If he's not actually dead, blame the internet for misreporting. I think he committed suicide if it's true.
