Did the autopsy prove that Terri was in a Persistent Vegetative State?

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Terri Schiavo
No. The autopsy was unable to determine whether or not Terri was actually in a persistent vegetative state. In fact, on three separate occasions, the report stated that an autopsy is unable to determine if a person is in a persistent vegetative state because the person must be alive in order to make such a diagnosis. The autopsy did prove that that, prior to Terri's death, she was physically healthy and would have lived a long life had she not been dehydrated over a period of two weeks. No.

H.M. Coroner for Pembrokeshire
It is the coroner's duty to find out the medical cause of death. On receiving a report, the coroner may decide that the death was natural and will authorise a doctor to sign a form stating, to the best of his information, what the medical cause of death was. Sometimes, although it is clear that the death was natural, there isn't enough knowledge about the patient's medical condition to say what the cause of death was.
