The Fat Lady is in the wings, bound and gagged....

Sadly, there are indications the Schindlers are behind Jeb Bush's push to investigate Michael Schiavo's actions 15 years ago in another state (does Florida even have jurisdiction in this matter?):
Governor Bush, who vehemently fought the court-ordered removal of Ms. Schiavo's feeding tube, said he decided to seek an investigation after speaking with Dr. Jon R. Thogmartin, the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy, on Tuesday, a day before his report was released.
....
The question of whether Ms. Schiavo's husband purposely delayed seeking help was never a significant issue in the case. A lawyer for Ms. Schiavo's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, mentioned it after the autopsy report came out on Wednesday and said he had pointed it out in a letter to Dr. Thogmartin shortly after Ms. Schiavo's death, at age 41, on March 31.
.....
The Schindlers' lawyer, David Gibbs, said on Friday that for years they had focused on fighting to prolong their daughter's life, but that the autopsy report rekindled their curiosity about the time inconsistencies.
Inconsistencies which cannot, of course, ever be resolved.

As I said, life is not like Perry Mason. You never find out exactly what happened.

ADDENDUM: Somebody find the Lady, and cut her loose. Doxagora points this out:

From the summary coroner report (June 13, 2005):

On February 5th 1990 ... a 911 call was made at approximately 0540hrs. Both Mr. Schiavo and Bobby Schindler were present prior to arrival of emergency responders.

Yes, someone's got some 'splaining to do.
