No, no, no, she did not suffer “a loss of potassium in her body that caused her heart to stop beating.” Lottery odds against that all along. Fifteen years later the M.E. dismissed it as absurd in the autopsy report. We are still looking for the reason Terri went from asleep to a crumpled, broken heap on the hallway floor, so close to death she needed seven defibs. That kind of damage could not have been caused by bulimic collapse.
You’re absolutely right. There was a lot of misinformation spread through the St. Pete Times, in pursuit of Terri’s death. I always find it valuable when I come across admissions from them that they’ve since tried to distance themselves from.
