Reminds me of when that man took that suspicious sudden trip to Hawaii, suspended campaigning to do it, to “visit” his Grandmother, and then she conveniently dropped dead a couple of days later. Very suspicious.

Tox screen is generally separate from an autopsy, and is largely automatic. It’s right there with the visual inspection, hard to avoid.

I remember another one where a Republican took an unexpected vacation to Las Vegas and was found dead in his hotel bathtub. Somebody had removed not only one of his kidneys but also his liver............

I'm surprised that the Democrat party never jumped all over that case..............but maybe they were involved.

We'll never know..........

I was under the impression that an autopsy is mandatory with any unattended death in the State of Texas.

We have become a third world country. That’s how the dictators gain control first of the vote and then of the judiciary. Once the other judges and justices know that they can easily be taken out, they will definitely lean the way of the person in power. Sad. My parents were the greatest generation and now this.

I may be in the minority here, but autopsies desecrate a body. At 79 you’re lucky for very day God gives you

Allow the man to rest in peace.

I hear that the Tacos Obama at that resort are to die for. Especially if you wash them down with a nice robust Jarrett Estates pinot grigio.

Isn't and autopsy SOP?

No.

Ther are 50 state laws which govern, I've only practiced in 3, and Texas isn't one of them.

But, in general, unattended sudden deaths have to be EVALUATED by a medical examiner or coroner. That official is ENTITLED but not REQUIRED to perform or order an autopsy.

Step #1 (always) is to contact the deceased person's personal doctor, if one exists.

After that, 98% of the time, the ME/coroner will sign the death certificate without an autopsy, based on information obtained from the personal physician.

If there is no personal physician or if he says, "Wow! I can't believe it!", step #2 is to request permission from the family. The family always (in my experience) refuses.

Since then exercising the State's authority to command an autopsy is difficult, it usually ends there.

In this case, we have no facts, so it's kind of silly to speculate. The local official apparently spoke to Scalia's physician, and got enough information to sign a death certificate.

It's probably legit.

As if an autopsy would show anything anyway.

Remember Ron Brown?

Then why mess with scalia if they are scared of trump and willing and able to murder a high official. The alternative is obvious.

I agree with that 100%...we have no facts... and given we have no facts and the the impact this mans death at this particular time can have on ever US citizen going forward in the future...

I say the citizens have a right to expect the simple common everyday process of an autopsy to collect those missing facts and eliminate speculation

due diligence and process are to be expected ...its a prudent valid request

The judge who pronounced him dead of natural causes is a Democrat. Don’t know about the Sheriff who was giving him the information.

One of the reports said they found him with pillow on face. Who the heck sleeps peacefully with a pillow on his face.

Obama received 71 percent of the vote in heavily Hispanic Presidio County (Marfa) in 2012. Got 77 percent in Webb County (Laredo) too
