Pelican Brief?

Scalia “is said” to have died of a heart attack
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/texas-tv-station-scalia-died-of-a-heart-attack/2016/02/14/938e2170-d332-11e5-9823-02b905009f99_story.html

Yet as details of his 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 a ranch owner.

It then took hours for authorities in remote West Texas to find a justice of the peace, officials said Sunday. When they did, she pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body and decided not to order an autopsy.

A second justice of the peace, who was called but couldn’t get to Scalia’s body in time, said she would have ordered an autopsy.

How can they tell he died of heart attack, then?

McConnell needs to be on the ball here:

1. BE VERY FIRM — NO HEARINGS WILL BE HELD, MUCH LESS A VOTE.
2. MUST KEEP THE SENATE IN SESSION 24/7 TO PREVENT THE MARXIST SCUM FROM TRYING A RECESS APPOINTMENT.

This is beyond critical.

Dead is dead.

An overweight 79 year old man with a stressful job? What on earth could have killed him?

Isn’t an autopsy required by most life insurance companies? I would think he would have had a large policy.

What coroner wants to do the autopsy? After the Michael Hastings coroner died just before the results were to be announced and the autopsy redone?
