Terri Schiavo has died. Her family was not allowed to be in her room at the time but are there now. Update: According to Fox news her parents were in the room 10 minutes before she died but had to leave so there could be a medical assessment. After this was done her husband was in the room. The court had set up a schedule of visitation that prevented her husband and her parents from being in the room at the same time or to see each other entering or exiting the room. Earlier today her parents had asked Michael Schiavo to allow them in the room at the same time as he was there.
There will be an autopsy.
Update: The news channel Web sites now have brief notices of her death on their front pages. Some of them are showing a picture of a healthy Terri with the notice (CNN, ABC, Fox) and others are showing a picture of her in the hospice (MSNBC and CBS). It makes me curious about what goes into the editorial decision on which image to use.
