Wow. Quick autopsy and quick results. Must be a record.
Died of an MI. How convenient.
Just read a WaPo article stating that he was being embalmed, NO autopsy.
I didn't hear anything about an autopsy being ordered until the article associated w/this post.
In fact, I thought earlier today, that no autopsy was ordered due to this article:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/02/14/official-scalia-died-heart-attack/80375798/#
In this article the judge IDs the cause of death due to a conversation with Scalia's personal Dr.. The article did not explicitly say that an autopsy was not ordered. What made me think one was not ordered was this part:
"As part of my investigation, one of the things I did ask the sheriff and the U.S. Marshal: 'Were there any signs of foul play?' And they said, 'Absolutely not.' At that time I still wanted to be careful, and asked them if (Scalia's) physician would call me."
The justice's personal doctor called her at 8 p.m. Saturday night. She said the physician told her that Scalia had a shoulder problem last week and underwent an MRI. Scalia also suffered several chronic ailments, Guevara said.
"I felt comfortable what I knew was going on with him physically," she said."
Does that sound like he ordered an autopsy to you? Usually, when under a doctors care, no autopsy required. So it seems to me that Guevara, a judge - not a doc, entered cause of death as MI on the death cert. but did not order an autopsy.
Doesn’t appear there was an autopsy.
no blood tests?...no urine tests?...no xrays?.....
