Schiavo findings won't be rushed

[carpe diem]

LARGO - People around the world have talked about the life and death of Terri Schiavo, but Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Jon hogmartin will get the last word.


For the past month, he has been working on her autopsy. She has taken over his office and consumed his working hours. He appeared for an interview in blue scrubs, looking every bit the wiry medical examiner with his bald head and tiny wire-rimmed glasses.


"That's her and that's her," he says, pointing to piles of documents and boxes of slides stacked all over his office.
.................

In 1997, he became Palm Beach County's medical examiner and told a reporter he would stay there until he was "old and gray." But within a year he left and became an independent medical examiner so he could gain more control. In Palm Beach, he was a county employee. As medical examiner of Pinellas and Pasco counties, Thogmartin answers to Gov. Jeb Bush. - (my comments: This would concern me if I was Michael Schiavo. Not every on has the backbone or sense of conviction that a Judge Greer has.)

1. Hasn't she now been cremated?

So I'm assuming the autopsy is long over and they are just waiting on the final report, right?

2. according to this article...

published today, the coroner is still working on it...I guess they got the parts, photos, and videotapes they needed for further examination before the cremation...

3. They released a report not long ago

The Florida Children Custody did a look over her and they said there was no sign of abuse.
