Isn’t it standard procedure to do an autopsy, if an unattended body is discovered?

There is nothing "standard" about this current corrupt government.

Unless Texas law has been changed since I last faced this sort of situation, an autopsy is essentially mandatory if the patient's own physician cannot certify the cause of death based on a clear history of serious illness likely to cause sudden death.

Texas has jurisdiction. I don't believe next-of-kin can waive an autopsy under the circumstances. I will be shocked if there is no autopsy. (Are there any Texas FReeper docs with recent experience relevant to this case?)

Especially with a Supreme court justice who died out of the blue while the Demonrats are in power.
