“Around midnight Sunday, a hearse carrying Justice Scalia’s body left the ranch property, bound for Sunset Funeral Homes in El Paso, the West Texas city more than 200 miles away.”
Wait. No autopsy? What the hell?
Hasn’t he been embalmed already ?
Would hope that the family would demand a private autopsy.
[Wait. No autopsy? What the hell?]
Reminds me of Breitbart.
A 57 year old friend passed in his sleep last July. There was no autopsy and death was ruled due to natural causes (based on his history). Not all unattended deaths require a post-mortem.
We do not know any details of Justice Scalia’s health, only generalities. He may have had more going on than we were aware of.
Wondering same and why not more I ncredulity here. Almost 12 hour wait to get body out? What, no helicopter available anywhere to properly expedite?
Am betting if a guest had a heart attack at dinner table and needed medical assistNce, or one had to make quick trip to Washington...there would not be 12 hours of confusion and poor handling. Suspect also, , that private plane service readily available and air strip available for use, to/for/by guests at this very exclusive - and remote - ranch.
(And Justice of the Peace’ approves death call w/o having seen body and then ‘no’ autopsy? Unbelievable!)
