Terri’s feeding tube was plugged out in April 24, 2001 for the first time, but it was soon reinstated due to legal decisions. Growing media attention attracted politicians, advocates, institutions to get involved in the case.
Even President Bush signed legislation in 2005 to keep Terri alive but she was finally plugged out of life support on March 18, 2005.
14 appeals, numerous motions, petitions, five federal district court suits, a congressional committee subpoena, four denials of certiorari from the Supreme Court of the United States and 15 year’s later, Terri finally rested in peace at the Pinellas Park hospice on March 31.
