According to the official story, Judge Antonin Scalia was found dead in his bed this weekend while a guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in West Texas.
A first-time guest to the Cibolo Creek Creek Ranch, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was animated and engaged during dinner Friday night, as one of three dozen invitees to an event that had nothing to do with law or politics, according to the ranch owner.
Just hours later, he would be found dead of “apparent natural causes,†which media outlets were reporting Sunday was a heart attack.
“He was seated near me and I had a chance to observe him. He was very entertaining. But about 9 p.m. he said, ‘it’s been a long day and a long week, I want to get some sleep,†recalled Houston businessman John Poindexter, who owns the 30,000-acre luxury ranch.
When Poindexter tried to awaken Scalia about 8:30 the next morning, the judge’s door was locked and he did not answer. Three hours later, Poindexter returned after an outing, with a friend of Scalia who had come from Washington with him.
We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled,†said Poindexter.
“He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,†he said.
Scalia, 79, did not have a pulse and his body was cold, and after consulting with a doctor at a hospital in Alpine, Poindexter concluded resuscitation would have been futile. He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend.
The body of the Supreme Court justice was moved to an El Paso funeral home early Sunday. The body was driven from Marfa and arrived around 2:30 a.m. at Sunset Funeral Homes, according to spokesman Chris Lujan.
Lujan said the funeral home was chosen by family of the justice, and at the advice of a family friend.
Yet as details of Scalia’s sudden death trickled in Sunday, it appeared that the hours afterward were anything but orderly. The man known for his elegant legal opinions and profound intellect was found dead in his room at a hunting resort by the resort’s owner, who grew worried when Scalia didn’t appear at breakfast Saturday morning.
It then took hours for authorities in remote West Texas to find a justice of the peace, officials said Sunday. When they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body — which is permissible under Texas law — and without ordering an autopsy.
One of two other officials who were called but couldn’t get to Scalia’s body in time said that she would have made a different decision on the autopsy.
“If it had been me . . . I would want to know,†Juanita Bishop, a justice of the peace in Presidio, Tex., said in an interview Sunday of the chaotic hours after Scalia’s death.
Meanwhile, Guevara acknowledged that she pronounced Scalia dead by phone, without seeing his body. Instead, she spoke to law enforcement officials at the scene — who assured her “there were no signs of foul play†— and Scalia’s physician in Washington, who said that the 79-year-old justice suffered from a host of chronic conditions.
Guevara also rebutted a report by a Dallas TV station that quoted her as saying that Scalia had died of “myocardial infarction.†In an interview with The Washington Post, she said she meant only that his heart had stopped.
“It wasn’t a heart attack,†Guevara said. “He died of natural causes.â€
The circumstances surrounding Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia’s death are growing more suspicious by the minute.
What was the cause of Scalia’s death? Was it a heart attack or death by natural causes? No one seems to know. The story keeps changing.
How convenient…
Who dies with a pillow over their head?
Why wasn’t an autopsy performed? With no autopsy performed, henceforth his body has been embalmed, basically erasing any chances for the coroner to conduct efficient toxicology tests.
Judge Scalia was a defender of freedom, a defender of the Second Amendment and the Constitution. Scalia and Obama and powerful liberals greatly disagreed on issues like gun control and immigration.
Scalia was the tie breaking judge, the man who could push back any liberal policies being shoved through the court. With Scalia’s death, the Obama Administration or a future Hillary Clinton Administration has a green door to confiscate guns, flood the country with illegals and wreck the Constitution.
In the 1972 film the Godfather, Luca Brasi, Don Vito Corleone’s henchman was murdered by rival mobsters. Brasi’s bulletproof vest was sent to the Corleone family with a dead fish wrapped inside, a signal Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
The pillow over Scalia’s head wasn’t put there by a Hispanic maid.
The pillow over the head is a warning…
The same people who want you to believe Scalia died of a heart attack or natural causes are the same people who want you to believe that Hillary won the Iowa Caucuses with six coin tosses and the same people who want you to believe after fifty years that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of President Kennedy.
Of course the MSM has reported on none of this. Even Fox News refuses to cover the strange occurrences in Texas. The Outnumbered girls this morning were more interested in the color of their pastel high heels, than the diabolical machinations of power in this country.
Joseph Goebbels once said that “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.â€
How many more lies can the American people accept as simple normality? It is high time for the slumbering American people to wake up and realize they are being lied to and used.
Clearly Judge Scalia died of natural causes just like John F. Kennedy did.
Nothing to see here folks, move on…
Uh huh…
With Marilyn Chambers as the torch singer?
A heart attack is death by natural causes. Who writes this rubbish?
I listen to the Howie Carr show from Boston and the euphemism for death he uses is “He didn’t come down for breakfast” or “He won’t be down for breakfast”.
This phrase is so appropriate for Justice Scalia.
I am listening to Howie’s show today to specifically hear him say that phrase.
Scalia death
natural causes being something other than a heart attack
And let us add, per this report, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3397338/posts, that there was an hour delay before the national media reported the story. Very strange.
He was found with a pillow over his head. Come on...

You're mixing up the Green Doors. And yeah, it embarrasses me a little bit that I know what you're talking about. :)
If you have seen someone having a heart attack, they wriggle and tense up like having a seizure. Ending up under the pillow is not far-fetched.
Not to mention a waste of time and energy.
not marilyn chambers but jim lowe
Why leave evidence? Easy. If it was a murder the murderers had to know that there would be no investigation, no autopsy -- and those who know how things work -- will get the message.
It's always an accident, a suicide or a heart attack.
Billie Sol Estes, Texas Con Man Whose Fall Shook Up Washington, Dies at 88
"Soon after the Estes indictments, however, Mr. Freeman, the agriculture secretary, disclosed that a key investigator on the case, Henry Marshall, had been found dead in Texas  bludgeoned on the head, with nearly fatal amounts of carbon monoxide in his bloodstream and five chest wounds from a single-shot bolt-action rifle. Local officials ruled it suicide, but the body was exhumed and the cause changed to homicide.Six other men tied to the case also died. Three perished in accidents, including a plane crash. Two were found in cars filled with carbon monoxide and were declared suicides. Mr. Estes's accountant was also found dead in a car, with a rubber tube connecting its exhaust to the interior, suggesting suicide, but no poisonous gases were found in the body, and his death was attributed to a heart attack.
Scandals of Democrat administrations would have pretty much gone unnoticed were it not for "the bodies that kept cropping up . . . killings [that were] disguised as suicides or accidents."
The Nytimese seem to laugh it off but they did at least report the details of some of the suicides, accidents and heart attacks -- and (surprise) ended by saying "none of the Estes claims [about the killings and Democrats' involvement] could be proved"
I believe that there were followup investigations in the 1980s I didn't see anything about that in the linked article.
Contrast the bodies that kept cropping up to the vicuna overcoat that almost brought down the Eisenhower Administration.
It is no disrespect to ask questions. Nobody is blaming his family for this.
Motives are way to high for his death, and means and opportunity aren’t far behind. It’s not a conspiracy theory if an investigation isn’t being done. It’s asking the right questions. It’s only a conspiracy theory if an investigation is done and you ignore the evidence.
Scalia was a very big part of the Supreme Court of the United States.... There is no way under the sun that you DON'T do an autopsy on this man... He was a VERY important man.!! If for no other then to please his employer....the American people..
MHO.........
All the people there were his friends/associates.
This is a family matter. I'm sure he had a will and his wife knows him like a book.
I think to continue this line is very disrespectful to his family and to the man himself.
No. Justice is one of the most important parts of our Constitution. Scalia lived for the Constitution. His life’s work was Justice. His title was Justice. Justice, Justice, shalt thou pursue.
It does not tarnish his memory nor hurt his family to do a logical investigation.
bfl
he was laying flat on his back...Millions sleep like that...
A guy here at work is fat... I mean 500lbs fat. He goes outside and smokes Marlboro Reds. Lives alone.
My wife was a 125lbs yoga and pallates (sic) fanatic. Having watched cigarettes kill her, I shake my head every time I see him go outside, then come back to his desk breathing heavily.
I am not going to tell a grown man how to live but I just feel like shaking him sometimes to ask him why don’t he just eat a bullet and get it over with.
