Terri’s ‘death’ reported too early by CBS News
Posted on March 31st, 2005 by Anthony K. Valley
CBSNews.com prepared obituary viewable via search engines, erroneously. Glenn Beck as the copies to prove it.
With worldwide attention focused on Terri Schiavo, the brain-injured Florida woman whose feeding tube was removed March 18, CBS News reportedly published news of her death on Monday of this week, even though she had not died.
The online obituary began: “Surrounded by stuffed animals and medical equipment in her small hospice room in Pinellas Park, Fla., Theresa Marie Schindler Schiavo died. ... “
“Known as Terri Schiavo, the severely brain damaged Florida woman spent her last months in the glare of the public eye as a few still images and several seconds of video of her repeatedly broadcast around the world. She appeared made up and dressed, although the 41-year-old had not enunciated a word nor made any choices since the 1990 heart attack that left her body and mind ravaged.”
The story, written by CBSNews.com’s Christine Lagorio, even prognosticated the precise location of Terri’s husband.
