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.

The first JP: “Okay, could you hold the phone to his ear? Hello? HELLO? Can. You. Hear. Me? Yeah, he’s dead. I’m calling it.”
