> the JP and a medical examiner
There was no medical examiner.
There are qualified examiners for/at funeral homes-for everyone, no matter who they are-you can’t just say this person is dead of natural-or unnatural causes-call the next of kin to come get them or make arrangements for burial/cremation-we aren’t backwoods hicks, even in desolate places-you have to have a release from a medically qualified individual. Reportedly, Scalia was also taken there by US marshals.
