Motives are not as high as you think. Any of his votes are lost. And we will never know. Any upset can come back to the court....under another application.

I know. It does sound like rubbish. Which makes it all the more curious that it didn't come from a conspiracy theory blogger, but from the official who declared Scalia dead and decided no autopsy was necessary.

According to the Washington Post, the odd distinction between heart attack and natural causes was made by Justice of the Peace (Cinderela Guevara).

Here's the WP quote, with link following.

>> Guevara also rebutted a report by a Dallas TV station that quoted her as saying that Scalia had died of "myocardial infarction." In an interview with The Washington Post, she said she meant only that his heart had stopped.

"It wasn't a heart attack," Guevara said. "He died of natural causes." <<

It’s a matter of semantics. They didn’t say above his head which denotes not on his face. Pillow over his head, everyone pretty much sees that as on his face. You can interpret it anyway you want.

That’s what I was thinking, but then he said his hands were folded across his chest.

Good Lord, the conspiracy theory idiocy is tiring. If someone did smother him with a pillow, why leave it on his face after smoothing out his pajamas? How did they lock the door after leaving? Why only Scalia?

He was 80 and heavy, and as a proud Italian, his diet likely wasn't vegan. Why do some people need to see conspiracies everywhere?

Well said. An autopsy would confirm/refute presence of fibers in oral/nasal passages. As well as any medication OD or foreign bodies.

“This is a family matter. I’m sure he had a will and his wife knows him like a book. “

And family members who know the decedent like a book also know when they’re being “advised” not to press for an autopsy. After all, medical evidence that would cause a departure from the current narrative could be so untidy...

“”””Good Lord, the conspiracy theory idiocy is tiring.”””””

I was 700 miles away... sleeping... I was not there... I did not find him... I was not a responder on the scene... I don’t work at the coroner’s office... I do not have his medical records... I was 700 miles away. But I read some stuff on the internet from my desk at work, so therefor I know exactly what happened.

Is that the kind of idiocy you mean?

My point was the local media had the story, one of the biggest stories of the year, and the national media waited an hour to report it.

I have seen my wife lay under the pillow many times just from squirming. I remember thinking, that can’t be comfortable. But she did it all the time then acted like I was crazy when I asked her about it.

Yes, the Justice travels with Marshals that are there to keep him safe. Who decided to not put the marshals up at the ranch??? The ranch owner says it was because the Justice was so unassuming... But maybe the rancher himself suggested a great motel far away that they could enjoy themselves at... Who suggested it? Can we hear from one of the marshals?

Also, if the pillow were some sort of mafia sign that the Justice was “stifled,” maybe the crazy words of that Poindexter make more sense, how peaceful the Justice looks, painless, repose, all that sugary silence crap.

What was the cause of Scalia's death? Was it a heart attack or death by natural causes? No one seems to know. The story keeps changing.

Good grief!
Where do these people come from?

Heart attack IS a 'natural cause...'

Unless you are delivering a medical school lecture.
