2. I wonder if the medical facility is hoping for money from the lawsuit

There will likely be a lawsuit, possibly with a multi million dollar settlement. The care facility might be willing to keep Jahi with the expectaion of getting some money for cost if the settlemnt comes through.

I don't know all the details, and I don't know if there will be a successful lawsuit. (sometimes even if a hospital does everything right people still die). Even if the family wins a lawsuit, I realize nothing can replace their daughter, but it would be a shame to see them have to pay a large portion of the money to a care facility that really can't do anything. Delaying an autopsy might also make a lawsuit more difficult to win.
