Why not? Obamacide?

[dp0622]

so he just died from...death?

[Eagles6]

I would hope his family would demand a private one.

Isn’t an autopsy pretty much SOP on high ranking people in government?

[CMB_polarization]

How about a blood test? You can check for heart attack from enzymes present(or not).

[Farmer Dean]

Let me guess,his body will be cremated ASAP.

Our Republic is in severe jeopardy today because of Justice Scalia's death yesterday. And no autopsy makes it worse.

I believe Obama will appoint Scalia's successor, and that McConnell and the Senate will confirm anyone Obama wants, including the odious Eric Holder.

Imagine a 5-4 Supreme Court decision interpreting the 2nd Amendment to ban the mere possession of handguns. It could happen. MILLIONS of us would not comply, of course. Any attempt to force us would lead to mass death.

But this one event, Scalia's death, could be the inflection point of the downfall of the American Republic, and quite possibly the traceable initiation of the 2nd American Civil War.

I’m pretty sure Obama had him killed.

Totally serious.

Doesn’t matter.

He died of natural causes.

Or not. But, if not, at this level of the game, an autopsy wouldn’t turn up the real cause anyway.

[GreyFriar]

I heard on Fox TV News that Justice Scalia died of a heart attack. Seeing I’m a just a decade younger than him, it makes sense to me. Heart attacks can come without any warning.

[Ray76]

He’s been embalmed by the Sunset Funeral Home in El Paso.

He was 79 years old, very overweight, out of shape, probably had a host of medical issues...

A heart attack is highly likely...

His family has the final say, not conspiracy nuts...

I am fine with this. If I were a family member I’d see no point in an autopsy on a near 80 year old who dies in his sleep. And to be honest I am a little over the bizarre fetish for conspiracy theories that seems so prevalent on FR.

His death is a national tragedy. No need to make more of it than that. Time to focus on blocking Obama’s appointment.

[BerryDingle]

He was embalmed nearly right away. No coroner ever pronounced him deceased either.

[HarleyLady27]

Government coverup?????

[M Kehoe]

Autopsy is necessary to dispel any conspiracy theories. This decision by the family is highly suspicious (if true).
