This year marks the 21st anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s court-ordered death by dehydration. On March 18, 2005, Florida Judge George W. Greer ordered the removal of Terri’s feeding tube, leading to her agonizing death from starvation and dehydration that lasted nearly two weeks.
For each of those thirteen days, the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network will commemorate the final, horrific days of Terri’s inhumane passing. This remembrance serves not only to honor Terri Schiavo, but also to raise awareness about the countless individuals currently experiencing slow, tragic deaths in hospices, nursing homes, and hospitals across the United States and around the world.
Political Corruption Alleged in Schiavo Case

(WND) — As Terri Schiavo enters what are thought to be her last hours of life, allegations of political corruption and obstruction of justice on the part of state officials raise questions as to whether the brain-injured woman’s court-ordered death by starvation might serve to cover up crimes committed against her.
Criminal probes launched by two Florida agencies looking into allegations the incapacitated woman was abused, neglected and exploited were shut down, despite investigators’ concerns. One investigation took place at the Department of Children and Families, or DCF, in late 2001.
The other was conducted by agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, or FDLE, in August 2003. Both agencies are mandated by Florida Statutes 415 and 825 to detect and correct the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of the elderly or disabled adults. CONTINUE
