http://www.terrisfight.net/images/bonescan.jpg I don't see injuries that are specific to *typical* bulimia/anorexia-nervosa deossification/decalcification, but I do know that a cardiac episode and lack of oxygen to the brain can be caused by strangulation. I think the only person who will ever really know is Michael Moneybags.
Unfortunately, there is no way to put the entire populace through an instantaneous graduate level neuro-anatomy course to understand the difference between cognitive response and non-cognitive reflex -- yet.
Osteoporosis is associated with anorexia, but is not typical in bulimia: See Sundgot-Borgen J, Bahr R, Falch JA, Schneider LS. Normal bone mass in bulimic women. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1998;83:3144-9. Of course, the distinctions between the disorders is not always clear-cut, but it's entirely possible for bulimics, or even anorexics, not to be osteoporitic.
In any case it is clear that Terri suffered a fall and at the very least a knee injury at the time of her collapse. She also received extensive "vigorous" CPR, which very often breaks ribs if one is doing it right. Of course she has a history of bone trauma -- it was a matter of medical record from the beginning. Your implication that she was strangled has no merit as far as I'm aware -- strangulation to the point of hypoxia and heart failure would inevitably leave some kind of evidence if not extensive soft tissue injury, which were not documented in any medical report I'm aware of, and it is a matter of medical record that Terri's potassium level was low enough to cause a heart

"And you don't need a graduate-level understanding of neuroanatomy to understand what "her cerebral cortex is completely destroyed" and "no detectable EEG for the last 15 years" mean. C'mon.Evidently her parents and most of the public did need that course, because they just didn't get it
