MARFA, Texas -- United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's heart stopped beating during his sleep, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told WFAA on Sunday.

Guevara officially pronounced him dead at 1:52 p.m. on Saturday. She will be the local official who signs his death certificate.

I would have preferred an actual medical examiner.
And an autopsy.

Did any medical professional examine the body?

Not to get crazy here, but doesn’t someone have to examine a body to rule on a cause of death? Judge Cinderella will talk to Scalia’s doctor on the phone to decide what to list as cause of death?, is this normal procedure???

No zhit, Sherlock.

Every death is ultimately a cardiac arrest.

At his age, I doubt anything could be done.

He died in his sleep.

No. Unless a death looks suspicious, no autopsy is usually done.

Well Agent 99, it's the old pillow over the head heart attack trick.

The medical examiner missed it by " " that much!

Even if he had been revived, he might not have had long to live.

Scalia lived a few more years than the male life expectancy of 72 years.

That’s a great old age.

They sent out an expert from the Washington, D. C. park police. It was his first medical exam.

Everything is Kosher...

Of course it’s natural because everyone sleeps with a pillow over their head, right?

There was no Autopsy. How can it be ruled a heart attack?

... Guess the heart attack was so serious that he had to be embalmed within hours of dying ..... Guess that’s standard protocol in MARFA, Texas. Heck .... You sure don’t want others to catch a heart attack.
