She has said that she did speak to his personal physician.
The justice’s personal doctor called her at 8 p.m. Saturday night. http://www.11alive.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/02/14/official-scalia-died-heart-attack/80376442/
Guevara officially pronounced him dead at 1:52 p.m. on Saturday. [] Hours earlier, the county judge told WFAA that myocardial infarction - or a heart attack - would likely be the cause of death listed. Guevara later said she would confer with the Justice’s personal physician on what specifically to show as the cause of death. http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/texas-news/scalia-to-have-autopsy-in-texas-according-to-state-law/42898331
How could the Judge without seeing the body, without an autopsy to determine the cause of the unobserved death, before speaking with the decedent’s personal physician, declare the cause of death “natural” or “myocardial infarction”?
How did she determined or confirmed the nature and cause of death?
