What Do You Know - Her Brain Was Gone

Lost amidst the post-Michael Jackson punditry today was the release of the results of the autopsy performed after the death of Terry Schiavo. Turns out that, just like her husband said, he brain was basically gone. In the words of the medical examiner:

'The brain weighed 615 grams, roughly half of the expected weight of a human brain,' he said. 'This damage was irreversible, and no amount of therapy or treatment would have regenerated the massive loss of neurons.'
In addition, there was no evidence of any sort of foul play on the part of the husband, as the fundie fetish-for-life folks were alleging in the last days.
