Schiavo feuding continues

PROTESTERS were gone yesterday from the hospice where Terri Schiavo died, but the feud between her parents and husband raged, with the families planning separate funerals.

Ms Schiavo, 41, died on Thursday, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed by a judge's order after attempts by Congress and the White House to intervene.

Michael Schiavo said his wife had said she would not want to be kept alive artificially. Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, disagreed and held out hope for a miracle recovery for their severely brain-damaged daughter, whom they said still struggled to talk.
