No one can survive 63 days without food or water. It is an impossibility. Remember how long Terri S. lasted?

Terri was deprived of food AND water...makes a HUGE difference. I think CindyDawg was right.

Teri died from dehydration. I disagree that she lost her will though. She fought as long as she could and longer than more heathier people. JUst talking about it.........:'(

Absolutely! What an amazing woman of strength and courage! I hope with the media attention, her days of struggling and suffering will be no more.

I will be praying for her.

It sounds like she was in a pit or hole. The lower temperatures may have helped her with surviving.

In my mind, she will replace that poor Afghani girl on the cover of National Geographic forever.

If she didn't have a functioning brain stem she couldn't have breathed on her own.

Incredible!

More details:

". . . Doctors said that she weighed less than five stone and 80 per cent of her muscles had withered while she was trapped in a tiny space in which she could only crouch.

She had apparently survived on rainwater and rotting food."
