"A study of her organs, fluids, bones and cells, as well as voluminous medical records, failed to support strangulation, beatings, a drug overdose, complications of an eating disorder or a rare molecular heart defect. All had been offered as theories over the past 15 years. Thogmartin said the cause will probably never be known."

"Thogmartin said the cause will probably never be known."

The mystery surrounding Terri's condition will continue. The autopsy probably did not have the ability to detect the true answer which much circumstantial evidence points to attempted murder. Because the cause of Terri's condition has eluded conclusive evidence means that the effort to find the truth will continue. I would consider Terri's case similar to what they call a "Cold Case." For that reason, the search for answers will go on.
