God bless the family and friends left to remember her legacy. Our prayers are with you
WASHINGTON (CNN)—Terri Schiavo, the 41-year-old brain-damaged woman who became the centerpiece of a national right-to-die battle, died Thursday morning, nearly two weeks after doctors removed the feeding tube that had sustained her for more than a decade.
Brother Paul O’Donnell, a spokesman for Bob and Mary Schindler, Schiavo’s parents, said the couple was with their daughter’s body and praying.
Wednesday, the Schindlers lost what their lawyer described as their “last meaningful legal appeal” in their desperate battle to have their brain-damaged daughter’s feeding tube reinserted.
The U.S. Supreme Court late Wednesday refused once again to hear an emergency appeal from the Schindlers.
