Period

Are you the one who said "Quality of life depends on the liver." ?
Is the above sentence correct ? Are we allowed to use a sentence ending fullstop (.) before the sentence ending question mark(?) ?

I'm 99% sure that Americans would not use the period. They would probably write: Are you the one who said, "Quality of life depends on the liver"? Here is an example from a book that is followed by many American writers: Why was Farragut trembling when he said, "I'm here to open the inquiry" ?
