Michael Schiavo once tried to kill his wife Terri with insulin shots, according to a former caregiver for the brain-injured Florida woman.

The estranged husband -- who is living with another woman with whom he has two children -- "wants her to die; he doesn't want the truth to be known," said Carla Sauer Iyer in an interview this morning on the Fox News Channel program "Fox and Friends."
WorldNetDaily reported the registered nurse's testimony in 2003 when it was presented in a 24-page complaint filed in a federal lawsuit alleging Michael Schiavo had forbidden medical professionals to provide his wife with any therapy or rehabilitation and had attempted to hasten her death while she was a patient at the Pinellas Park, Fla., hospice she has lived in since 2000.
After Terri Schiavo's collapse in 1990 under disputed circumstances, Michael Schiavo won a malpractice lawsuit, promising to use the money for her therapy. Afterward, however, he requested a "do not resuscitate" order, refused therapy and barred stimulation and treatment for infections.
Michael Schiavo believes the collapse, during which oxygen temporarily was cut off to the brain, was the result of an eating disorder, but her parents suspect he tried to strangle her.
Iyer said in the FNC interview that when Terri Schiavo was having a urinary tract infection, Michael Schiavo "would be excited, thrilled, even hoping that she would die soon."
"What makes you say that?" Iyer was asked.
"He would blurt out 'When is she gonna die? When is that B-I-T-C-H gonna die? Hasn't she died yet?'"

Carla, Carla. Don't be so judgmental! It isn't that he hated her so much (though of course he did). It's that he stood to inherit a million bucks! A guy can do all right with a dead wife and a million bucks. Y'know?
Were it not for Pat Boone my hero in the olden days, I may never had learned to bop.
(gulp...) He is still a hero in a real way as indicated two years ago today. Note the hostility of the media source...

Fox News Channel tried again to drag the husband of Terri Schiavo through the mud Wednesday (March 23) when entertainer Pat Boone appeared on The Big Story with John Gibson and suggested that Terri Schiavo's persistant vegetative state was caused by an attempted homicide.
Boone was responding to a question from Gibson about why Terri Schiavo's parents, rather than her husband, Michael Schiavo, should have the final say on whether she is kept alive via a feeding tube.
Boone replied that when paramedics responded to Michael Shiavo's call for help when his wife suffered a heart attack, they initially thought they were responding to a homicide attempt. "What caused this heart attack to begin with?" asked Boone. He said Terri Schiavo was later found to have multiple broken bones.
Boone implied that Michael Shiavo had an ulterior motive in wanting not just to let his wife die, but "to put her away."
"Why does the husband so desperately not want his wife to live when all he has to do is let her parents who love her take care of her? That's a big question," he said.
