I can accept a pillow over his head. I used to sleep face down with a pillow on my head.
What I don’t get is everyone I’ve ever known who had a fatal heart attack either clutched their chest or sat up in bed. The didn’t just lie there with their hands crossed on their chest.
I also question why someone felt it important to note that his clothes weren’t wrinkled. Are they trying to convince us that there was no tussel?
Bedclothes meaning sheets, blankets and such.

My dad died of a first time heart attack at age 56 while I was with him. We were at a political debate and he was grilling a liberal running for state house when he collapsed. He fell forward and rolled over on his back as he landed. His hands were crossed on his chest as if placed there in the casket. And he never moved again. We did CPR until the fire department got there, but he was gone. No wrinkled clothes, no grasping his heart, no nothing... just collapse.
I don't know what happened to Scalia... no idea... but I do know it's not always like they show on the movies or television when a person has a heart attack.
When I found my father, dead from a heart attack in bed, his hands were crossed on his chest and he had a peaceful expression.
