Marlise Muñoz

Marlise Munoz {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Life support was terminated at 11:29 a.m. Sunday, family members told News 8.

Heather King and Jessica Janicek, attorneys for Marlise's husband Erick Muñoz, issued a brief statement to confirm what happened:

"The Muñoz and Machado families will now proceed with the somber task of laying Marlise Muñoz’s body to rest, and grieving over the great loss that has been suffered. May Marlise Muñoz finally rest in peace, and her family find the strength to complete what has been an unbearably long and arduous journey."

The poor lady was dead in November. May she and her baby rest in peace and her family be able to put this nightmare behnd them.

They probably won't be able though. What a useless intervention by ideologues. So much extra suffering in what already was a terrible situation.

I started a thread about this, but I guess webbie didn't like it.{#emotions_dlg.sad}

I hope that this thread lasts longer.

The right thing was finally done. Should have been done a long time ago.

Now the family can lay her to rest.

If the hospital had any compassion, they should waive all the cost of treatment. JMO

Rest in peace, mother and child.

Thank goodness, for all involved. This was such an awful situation that was made much much worse by the state and the hospital. I hope the families find peace.

From a financial standpoint - now they are responsible for all these months of hospital bills that must be more than most people could handle. It should not have happened this way. I cannot even imagine how they would pay hospital bills this high.
