A fat guy almost 80 years old who indulged in rich foods and sauces and also smoker with a cardiac condition goes to a ranch almost a mile high in the air and dies in his sleep.

Obviously murder.

Bears repeating. Family and physician may have been warning him for years, as a lot of families and docs do.

In the end, it's clear he celebrated life. May he rest in peace.

Not having an autopsy greatly fuels the belief that Scalia was assassinated. There should be an autopsy, so the cause of death can be determined.

Sure, but what's wrong with a little agitprop from our side to rattle the Left?

How many "Why the Republicans Will Lose..." and "How the Republicans Will..." stories are being hurled our way every day?

Just because someone who is older and not in the greatest health doesn’t mean they cant be murdered.

This case has motive, means, and opportunity and includes very suspicious circumstances to boot. It shouldn’t be swept aside as simply “old people die”.

[cuban leaf]

You missed the entire point.

The perfect way to set up a murder so it can be denied that it was a murder.

I've noticed people like to lie at the very beginning. He wasn't a "fat guy." He was a fat Supreme Court Justice conservative anchorpoint in a cultural war for the future of the country. And that's why everything you said is irrelevant, because absolutely none of it has anything to do with the absolute necessity for an autopsy. Despite the admitted obviousness of the fact it could have been a natural death, it also could have been murder. Failing to absolutely determining which it was is therefore problem, and the ease with which an autopsy could be done versus the unending cultural problem of not doing it, is the actual issue. Not to mention that if it was murder, not having an autopsy would, in absolute fact, hide the murder.

[plain talk]

Definitely. Someone broke into his room and smothered him with a pillow. Then LEFT THE PILLOW OVER HIS HEAD! Yeah. Uh huh. :-).

It cannot hurt to have an autopsy. For someone of his importance, it is much too easy to write off as natural causes. But, the events with such a lack of security, outside of his home make things appear a bit questionable. So, for the sake of not feeling like a banana republic, let’s just have the autopsy.

And after he is dead his ghost places a pillow over his head,.....yeah righttttt.

And since those are all of the facts, no need for an inquest, autopsy, or any questions. Move along.
