It is from the Fresno Bee and I am only excerpting this story which elucidates the situation. I urge following the link for the rest...
I have a bad feeling about this, a deja vu of standing at the courthouse of Judge Whitmore while he twiddled his thumbs and Terri slipped away.
...............................
Michael Dancoff sat by his sister's bedside in the hospital, waiting and praying. It was just a matter of time.
Doctors said Janet Rivera was supposed to die in the next 24 hours. Rivera, who had been in a coma for more than two years, suffered from a failing heart and didn't have long to live. Doctors suggested that she be taken off life support, and her family reluctantly agreed.

Finally on Tuesday -- 11 days after life support was removed -- Dr. David Hadden, the county's coroner, public administrator and guardian, ordered doctors to give Rivera food and water through tubes again.
The next day, Fresno County Probate Judge Debra Kazanjian ordered that Rivera remain on life support for now. Kazanjian will decide at a hearing this Tuesday whether to keep Rivera on life support, and could decide who should have control over Rivera's medical decisions.
