Maybe they think they can get more money when they sue the hospital if they keep the body accessible for examination?

I'm thinking the famblee wants to prevent the body from being examined. From all that I've gathered, the post-op protocol was NOT followed. They paraded a conga line of family members through the ICU, because the mother thought it was "racist" for them not to be allowed in. All these family members (to put it nicely) were reportedly acting "boisterous," and they encouraged Jahi to talk and laugh -- MISTAKE NUMBER ONE for someone who just had extensive throat surgery. But unless there were cameras in the ICU, any excessive vocalizations from Jahi are gonna be hard to prove, and unfortunately for this case, hearsay isn't admissible in a court of law.
Eyewitnesses in the ICU who observed Jahi's family members also stated that her mother fed her a cheeseburger -- MISTAKE NUMBER TWO. That could have, and probably did, rupture the sutures -- if if it comes to light that Jahi's mother did, in fact, feed her during the time she wasn't to have any solid food, that is "contributory negligence", and will kill any hopes of a huge cash jackpot for them. (Would that food still be in her stomach/intestine weeks later, given that the bowel lining has sloughed off?)
And last, but not least, there's the issue of her grandmother (who was an LVN, but did NOT have privileges at that hospital) suctioning Jahi's bleeding. She could have damaged the clotting in the wounds doing that. Instead of practicing medicine in a place where she didn't have the right or responsibility to do so, she should have run SCREAMING for the nearest nurse -- whereupon a code would have been called. So why didn't she, instead of letting Jahi bleed into several containers?
The thing a lot of people are still misinformed on, is that this wasn't a "routine tonsillectomy" -- it was four different procedures done at once, each of which carried its own risks (including death). Everything else is just speculation at this point, and CHO currently has no way of telling its side of the story, due to HIPAA laws (I checked, and the laws apply for 50 years after the death of the patient.)
But when this goes to trial (and it will, because the family is seeking a $30 MILLION payday), all that damning evidence is gonna become public record. They won't get a penny, nor do they deserve one.

Wouldn't a person have to have a functioning brain to come back as a zombie? Her brain's almost liquified by now, she'd be the most inert walker ever.Quote

A man who was in both the recovery room and the PICU with his 4 year old son witnessed a lot. He posted in the LA Times in comments on a few of the articles which wound up deleted and comments disabled. I think they were compelled by lawyers for the hospital probably contacted him right after. Anyhow his description of what he himself witnessed went something like: 1. His son is 4 Nd was in Recovery Room. He said his son was not "special enough" to have both his parents in at the same time so they had to take turns to be with him. The RR nurses were distracted to the degree of clearing the other 15 family members all loud as can be from the RR. As the nurses did this mama and grandma fed Jahi bites of their Big Macs. Jahi started with a few bites then grandma provided the Popsicle but she had begun bleeding. Then mama fed her last few bites of Big Mac and immediately began bleeding heavier until it became waterfall like. I am going to venture a guess. Big Mac bites popped sutures to arteries. Grandma began suctioning and then the use of a large bucket was required. Hospital staff reacted to the situation as best as possible and as quickly as possible. 2. Later on in the PICU the father and his wife at separate times witnessed abuse of medical staff and all hospital staff in general by the entire family. The father describes the family as extremely ignorant, uneducated and disruptive. Ghetto period. The family had blatant disregard for every other family with critical children trying to survive and live these families also had to endure this circus. Disrespectful and selfish entitled behavior exhibited by the mother and uncle in particular. I feel terrible for all the families and hospital staff, doctors, nurses, pcas and CNAs right on to the janitor for having to be subjected to these.

I'm guessing that's why the family is trying to keep her hooked up, they're keeping her 'alive' so they don't have to feel that guilt that what they did ended up killing her. I bet as soon as the girl's heart stops irretrievably, the mother and grandmother will have a mental breakdown when reality hits home.
