Terri Schiavo Dies, Michael Schiavo Prevents "Begging Parents" From Seeing Her Last Moments

Associated Press | March 31 2005

They have done it. They have executed someone via a war crime banned by the Geneva convention right in front of our faces.

Michael Schiavo can now go home to the woman he left Terri for all those years ago and marry her.

Michael Schiavo even had the temerity to deny Terri's parents from being by her bedside right befre she died.

CNN is reporting,

O'Donnell, one of the family's spiritual advisers, said that her parents and siblings were "begging to be at her bedside...but are being denied."

Michael Schiavo was Terri's guardian and controlled who may visit her and when.

How obvious now is it to everybody just how much of a monster Michael Schiavo is?

Terri's Family Banned from Death Bed

Terri Schiavo's family was prevented from being at her bedside when she died this morning shortly after 9 am ET at a Pinellas Park, Florida hospice, a family spokesman said.

"Unfortunately, just 10 or so minutes before she died we were told we had to leave the room because there would be an assessment of her condition and because her husband Michael wanted to be in the room," said Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, in quotes first reported by Fox News.

Michael Schiavo flatly rejected the Schindlers' request to be with their daughter in her final moments, Pavone said, adding, "His heartless cruelty continued until the end."

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman whose final years tethered to a feeding tube sparked a bitter feud over her fate that divided a family and a nation, died Thursday, her husband's attorney said.

Schiavo, 41, died quietly in a Pinellas Park hospice 13 days after her feeding tube was removed despite extraordinary intervention by Florida lawmakers, Congress and President Bush — efforts that were rebuffed at every turn by the courts.

Her death was confirmed to The Associated Press by Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, and announced to reporters outside her hospice by a family adviser.

A shy woman who avoided the spotlight, Schiavo spent her final months as the focus of a media frenzy and an epic legal battle between her husband and parents over whether she should live or die.

Protesters streamed into Pinellas Park to keep vigil outside her hospice, with many arrested as they tried to bring her food and water. The Vatican likened the removal of her feeding tube to capital punishment for an innocent woman.

Politicians repeatedly tried to intervene as her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, pleaded for their daughter's life, calling the removal of the feeding tube "judicial homicide."

"Something has to be done and has to be done quick," Bob Schindler said, a week after the tube was removed March 18, as the family's legal options dwindled. "I think the people who are anxious to see her die are getting their wish."
