You're referring to this? Definitely a bit of an eyebrow-raising moment.

It's worth nothing that, despite all the noise from religious idiots and those pandering to them, autopsy results were conclusive.

   Terri Schiavo suffered severe, irreversible brain damage that left that 
   organ discolored and scarred, shriveled to half its normal size, and damaged 
   in nearly all its regions, including the one responsible for vision, 
   according to an autopsy report released yesterday.
   
   Although the meticulous postmortem examination could not determine the 
   mental state of the Florida woman, who died March 31 after a judicial and 
   legislative battle over her "right to die," it did establish the permanence 
   of her physical condition.

it's also worth reading this to get a sense of the full circus created by the would-be theocrats and how dangerous they are to decent humans [2,3]
