Finally, R.I.P. Terri Schiavo

Florida's state attorney said there was no evidence Terri Schiavo's collapse 15 years ago involved criminal activity, and Gov. Jeb Bush on Thursday declared an end to the state's inquiry.

Bush had asked State Attorney Bernie McCabe to investigate Schiavo's case after her autopsy last month. He said he now considers the state's involvement with the matter finished.

"Based on your conclusions, I will follow your recommendation that the inquiry by the state be closed," Bush said in a two-sentence letter. [AP via CBS News]

Well, at least I hope it is over as far as politically driven State and Federal government interference in an awful family tragedy are concerned. Perhaps the exploitation of Terri Schiavo has at last ended as far as the politicians is concerned. Of course, individuals who want to insert themselves in other people's business will continue to do so. And likely, they will continue to exploit Ms Schiavo's grief stricken parents. I only hope Terri Schiavo's parents are now given room to heal.
