So, the three are workplace friends who say they knew Nancy by a different (married) name. These so-called friends somehow find out that Nancy's parents want to kill her. What are buddies for -- killing each other! So, the three call the parents and say, "Yes, she told us at work that she wants to die in agony."

With this new testimony, the case concludes and Nancy's PEG tube is removed. She dies after 11 days of agony. But a few days before the end, this occurred:

>> "Sheriff Doug Seneker guarded Cruzan's room" -- from anyone trying to save her life! -- "at the Missouri Rehabilitation Center. Lawrence County Sheriff Doug Seneker was a deputy sheriff at the time. He questions whether Nancy Cruzan was in a persistent vegetative state. His opinion is based, in part, on her reactions three days before her death when he went into her room to check on her.

>> "[Nancy] turned and looked at me and stared at me with a panicky look, sweating profusely, and the thought I had was, she was thinking, ‘Oh, here’s a policeman, he’ll help me.’

>> "But we weren’t allowed to do that,” said Seneker.

Yeap. Isn't that what friends are for? Sounds to me like they were friends of the people wanted Nancy dead. I don't know of any other way to look at it.
