Schiavo's Autopsy Done...Results Released In a Few Weeks

CNN ^ | Apr. 2, 2005 | AP

Michael Schiavo has said he hopes the autopsy will settle questions about his wife's medical condition, but experts differ on whether that will happen. He declined to comment Friday.

Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, and Michael Schiavo spent Friday planning separate funerals for the 41-year-old woman, who died Thursday -- nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was removed.

[springfieldillinoishunk]

I don't think this will settle anything except that her life was cut short in an inhumane way.

[Perdogg]

Can't the US Congress subpoena the autopsy?

[Fantasywriter]

So they can have a second subpoena ignored?

[InvisibleChurch]

i bet we don't see the results

[CyberAnt]

And .. in a few weeks - they will have been able to sufficiently wash the results to disprove the husband ever did anything wrong.

Then .. we will have the bone scans and the autopsy in direct opposition to each other - meaning nothing will be resolved.

And .. this case continues to reek of outrageous corruption.

[smoothsailing]

The autopsy has been cremated.

[Libertina]

Terri's family said Michael was a control freak, and he was demonstrating it to the very end; taking literal hold of her body as he starved her, keeping her family & friends away, cremating her... Then he will finish the job by burying her on private ground away from supporters FOREVER. Thank God that our Lord is in control, and not Michael - no matter what Mr. Schiavo believes...

[Cicero]

The autopsy appears to have been done in a hurry, according to earlier reports. Well, we'll see, but I don't expect anything embarrassing to the Pinella County authorities or Judge Greer. And let's not forget the Michael works for the county too.

questions about his wife's medical condition, but experts differ on whether that will happen

As in life, so in death, the experts will differ.

May the Expert of experts determine the true cause of her condition and may she receive a fair trial and judgment in a more perfect place, along with those who helped and hindered her life on earth.

[Aria]

Yeah....they'll tell the world that she died from lack of food and water.

[St.VincentPaul]

Just had a thought. Dooes any one know when he melted down hisand his wive's wedding rings, to make one for himself?

[celtic gal]

News this morning, Sat the 2nd, was her body has been cremamted at 9 am.

Pinellas county, Florida subhuman murderer uncertified Judgenfuhrer Greer:
"I am exempt from all rules. I did not even take the oath of office.
The US Constitution - I ignored it.
18 USC Section 1505 - I ignored it.
Title 2 of the US code - I ignored it.
Florida Statute 765.309 which prevents mercy killing and assisted suicide - I ignored it.
Florida Statute 744.3215 which requires that incapacitated people cannot be deprived of food and water - I ignored it.
Florida Statute 765.404, which says that clear and convincing evidence of the ward's intent for medical treatment must be established - I ignored it..
I conspired to murder Terri to celebrate Holocaust Remembrance Month.
So what are you --and the pussies in Congress-- gonna do about it?"

Pinellas County Medical Examiner:
" Wow. This was so easy. I kept the Schindlers' observer away from the post
and simply used Terri's official Pinellas County Autopsy report
which Judge Greer gave me last week after he defied the Executive and Legislative branches.
Let me assure you that Judge Greer's report
which was written BEFORE we burnt all the evidence
says absolutely positively nothing about abuse.
Everything was normal. Honest. [wink]"

[Aria]

You'd think the judge would be prosecuted for ignoring a congressional subpoena! If someone had tried to write all this for a movie it would be declared as too unbelievable. I'm afraid its going to die down, be swept under the rug, and they'll get away with it.

special thanks to lafroste for generous technical and web assistance.

[The Coopster]

I don't think that's relevant.

If anything would happen to my wife, I would probably just continue to wear my wedding ring. But I think it's a pretty good sentiment to try and incorporate your wife's ring into yours somehow.

[Fantasywriter]

That's the part that really discourages me. The courts seem so supreme at this point in our history, and NO ONE seems willing or able to stand up to them.

[Tacis]

The autopsy will prove nothing more than she is dead. Michael wants no answers! Terri has already been cremated and nothing more can be learned!

Another motive for Michael to have wanted his wife dead. Is Florida a community property state? If so, it would mean that half of whatever Terri owned now belonged to him. The balance might be contested but half goes to the surviving spouse. In a divorce, he would have lost this "property."

[Snykerz]

I think your right.

XI. CREMATION APPROVAL (Florida Statutes 406.11(1)(c))




A. All requests for cremation must be approved by the Medical Examiner prior to the actual cremation.

1. Before authorizing the irretrievable disposal of a body by cremation, the Medical Examiner must be assured that no future question will arise about the cause or circumstances of the death of the individual.

2. The death, if previously unreported to the Medical Examiner, must first be verified as a non-Medical Examiner case according to Florida Statutes, 406.11.

B. Approval of a cremation, and accepting the responsibility for irretrievably destroying potential evidence, is a decision based on the quality of the information on the death certificate. The death certificate should be accompanied by a CREMATION APPROVAL FORM filled out by the attending physician to demonstrate that the death was due to natural causes. The cause of death on the death certificate must be sufficient to:

1. rule out trauma,

2. identify the immediate cause(s) of death, i.e. septicemia, peritonitis, bronchopneumonia, renal failure, etc., and

3. identify the underlying or proximate cause of death - the “due to” disease or injury responsible for initiating the lethal sequence of events.

C. The most common pitfalls this office encounters with causes of death are:

1. failure to state the underlying cause of death;

2. scrambling of immediate and underlying causes of death; and

3. listing extraneous data in the section entitled 'Other Significant Conditions'. The section 'Other Significant Conditions' (Part II) should be used only for those conditions that contribute to death, but are unrelated to the cause(s) listed in Part I.

D. The CREMATION APPROVAL FORM is often helpful in clarifying the cause of death as well as providing additional medical history that assures that the death was not by violence.

· Words like subdural, fracture, sepsis, fall, trauma, cardiac arrest, heart failure, hemiplegia, quadriplegia, paraplegia, and shock are mechanism of death and typically do not explain a natural death, and may indicate a traumatic origin. It is necessary to rule out traumatic underlying causes or identify the natural disease processes, which resulted in the cardiac arrest, for example.

E. The procedure used to obtain and validate the approval of the Medical Examiner for a cremation, dissection (i.e. Anatomical Board) or burial at sea can be done in one of two ways.

1. The funeral home or direct disposer may bring the completed Burial Transit Permit, CREMATION APPROVAL FORM and the signed death certificate, with the cause of death section legibly completed to this office for approval between the hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; or,

2. The funeral home or direct disposer may fax to this office (at 727-582-6820, 24 hours a day) the CREMATION APPROVAL FORM and signed death certificate with the cause of death section legibly completed. Approval will be made and the cremation approval document will be faxed back to the requesting funeral home, generally between the hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, seven days a week (excluding holidays). In certain circumstances, the cremation approval information will be provided to the requesting funeral home by return phone call, generally between the hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 p.m. seven days a week (excluding holidays).
