LYNN: The day after Terri dies, Dr. Jon R. Thogmartin performs an autopsy on her body. Thogmartin is Pinellas County’s chief medical examiner. More than two months later, on June 13th, he releases his report.

CARRIE: The next big question in the Terri Schiavo story is whether or not the autopsy results resolved the central issue which is just how brain damaged was she?

Thogmartin’s report is nothing if not thorough. He collaborates with a team of other medical specialists, including neuropathologist Dr. Stephen J. Nelson.

Together, they take seventy-two external photographs and one-hundred-sixteen internal photographs of Terri’s body. Dissect her neck, spine, and brain. Run toxicology tests. And pore over Terri’s court and medical records—including confidential reports by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

DON'T BE FOOLED!!! The Autopsy report may not be as credible or complete as we are lead to believe.....

From the Autopsy Report......

"...In addition to fading memories, the 15-year survival of Mrs. Schiavo after her collapse resulted in the creation of a voluminous number number of documents many of which were lost or discarded over the years."

The ME never reveals what records or documents have been lost or discarded and no investigation is done on why they disappeared.
