I googled for "severe dehydration" and "brain damage." Got this result several times: "Untreated severe dehydration may result in seizures, permanent brain damage, or death."

Considering the numerous occasions in which Terri underwent forced dehydration--the first time, then in Oct 2003, and again months ago, ultimately causing her death--isn't it likely that such trauma to the body had some effect on her already fragile condition, specifically to the brain?

How many medical examiners know what a brain looks like after numerous occasions of severe dehydration in a person, particularly when the patient had already lessened brain function?

What is the typical brain weight of person who died from dehydration?

Did the medical examiner take these sorts of questions into account?
