Schiavo ashes interred

The remains of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman whose fate sparked a highly politicised right-to-die battle, were buried yesterday in Florida, her husband's lawyer, George Felos, said.

The interment of Schiavo's ashes took place nearly three months after she died and five days after pathologists released results of an autopsy that showed her to have had massive brain damage and no hope of recovery.

Her parents, who fought to have their daughter remain on life-support, had wanted her buried.
