In a case that echoes Terri Schiavo's, a comatose Australian woman's recent death following the removal of her feeding tube put the focus on her husband for her injuries – now the husband, on the eve of being charged with her murder, has taken his own life.
Maria Korp, 50, died on August 5 following the July 27 removal of her feeding tube. Mrs. Korp had been diagnosed in a vegetative state for nearly six months following a February attack in her garage where she was choked and left for dead in a car trunk by her husband's lover, Tania Herman.
In April, doctors first suggested removing Mrs. Korp's feeding tube, saying treatment had been futile. Mr. Korp expressed his opposition and attempted to have his sister-in-law appointed as his wife's guardian since he, as a suspect in her injury, could not exercise those duties. The court, instead, appointed a public advocate as guardian.
Despite the fact Mrs. Korp had left no living will and the mother of two was a practicing Catholic, the court-appointed guardian announced his decision to deny her nutrition and hydration on July 26.
