LARGO, Fla. -- An autopsy on Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention that she was in a persistent vegetative state, finding that she had massive and irreversible brain damage and was blind, the medical examiner's office said Wednesday. It also found no evidence that she was strangled or otherwise abused.
But what caused her collapse 15 years remained a mystery. The autopsy and post-mortem investigation found no proof that she had an eating disorder, as was suspected at the time, Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Jon Thogmartin said.
Autopsy results on the 41-year-old brain-damaged woman were made public Wednesday, more than two months after Schiavo's death March 31 ended an internationally watched right-to-die battle between her husband and parents that engulfed the courts, Congress and the White House and divided the country.
Thogmartin also said she did not appear to have suffered a heart attack and there was no evidence that she was given harmful drugs or other substances prior to her death.
She died from dehydration, Thogmartin said.
He said she would not have been able to eat or drink if she had been given food by mouth as her parents' requested.
"Removal of her feeding tube would have resulted in her death whether she was fed or hydrated by mouth or not," Thogmartin told reporters.
He also said she was blind, because the "vision centers of her brain were dead."

The fix was in, I tell ya!
That's a bit of statement, eh? By the time the ghoul sliced and diced her, she was 100% dead. Every bit of her.
Long term feeding tubes are evil.
What do you mean by "camp followers", and what "medical facts" are there that permit a judge in a civil proceeding to sentence to death by starvation and dehydration a person who has committed no crime?
Cordially,
Just because the vision center of her brain was blind doesn't mean her brain couldn't have compensated somewhere else.
And by your own words, kwfrfr, you spike your own hand. There is the evidence: As you say the "hot spots" may indicate healed fractures and those kind of fractures can be cause by strangulation. You are too cute by half.

Stop putting everyone in the same category. It is an insult to all disabled people.
Whether they "planned" it or not isn't the issue. The outcome was a woman dehydrated to death.
Please, please, don't let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy!
Do you think terri's the only person ever to die this way? Some would think her death was easier than her life.
Sometimes what appears to be a conspiracy is nothing more than a set of circumstances that result in an outcome that appears to be the consequence of concerted thought and action. The left-wing bias of the mainstream media is one example of this. It's not a conspiracy, but it practice it looks very much like one.
You sound as if you have something against morality. That's a handicap under which I don't labor.
Well we do know that Michael owns the County Sherriff so how hard would it be for him to buy the Medical Examiner. The only way I would have trusted the autopsy is if it was done by the FBI....
We know that? Wow...$700,000 goes a long way these days....
I'm advocating that all the laws were followed in this case and if you don't like them, work to change them instead of accusing innocent people of unthinkable actions.
Clowns like that will never give up their quest. And the disturbed clique hear will not shut up either. They will just claim that the already gigantic conspiracy has gotten larger in order to fight the "truth" about what happened to TS.
Facts mean nothing to these people.
It was murder. Pure, simple murder.
