But wait---there's more:
The autopsy was inconclusive and it has prompted an investigation, as the last paragraph of the ME's report requests:
"It is the policy of this office that no case is ever closed and that all determinations are to be reconsidered upon receipt of credible, new information..... Receipt of additional information that clarifies outstanding issues may or shall cause an amendment of her cause and manner of death."

Time can erase a lot of evidence, as I'm sure Mikey Shiavo is happy about.

Part of what is so funny about that toon is it is true.
If something was right yesterday then it is right today
and yep it's gonna be right tomorrow.
Libby's aren't bound by such tightly constrained virtues are they?
'New information' can change what is right or wrong.
Flash Terri is still ded
ever since 1990

Terri Schiavo was profoundly disabled. She was not terminally ill and had family members ready to care for her for the rest of her natural life.
The odds for her recovery should not have determined whether support was continued in light of the fact there was no written statement of her wishes --there was just the word of a man who abandoned her to start anew with $$ a court awarded in her name.
Terri Shiavo hadn't been dying beforehand -- she'd simply been depending on others for nourishment, as a baby or invalid does. Demanding improvement as a prerequisite for food and water was wrong. A husband kills a nondisabled wife by starvation and dehydration and it's homicide, but he can kill a woman who can't speak for herself and is mentally and physically deficient because the courts of his state consider it a private family concern.

That would seek to overlook one little fact.
As her spouse he had the unalienable right to pull the plug.
End of story.
But this was just another attempt to tear down one of the
building blocks of society, the family.
There are far too many peeps on this forum that are either
divorced or living in sin, single or simply uninterested to pose the question:
Who would you entrust this type of decision too?
For better or worse in health or a vegetative state
I'd certainly want the woman I've spent the last 23 years with
to make the choice and no one else. In lieu of her
I'd want the singular off springy of my loins to say:
Pappy wouldn't want to be kept around as a broccoli
pull the plug on that sucka.
The state has no business in these types of affairs.

The state has no business unless the spouse appears to be the particular individual that may be responsible for your being in that condition.
I am one of the loudest screamers for keeping gov't out of our lives but this case is an exception. If she had a accident, through no fault of his & no appearance of impropriety, then this case would not be in question.
