I would have preferred an actual medical examiner.
And an autopsy.
They said they found his body with a pillow over his head.......
Hey, maybe he suffocated himself.
Did any medical professional examine the body?
Not to get crazy here, but doesn’t someone have to examine a body to rule on a cause of death? Judge Cinderella will talk to Scalia’s doctor on the phone to decide what to list as cause of death?, is this normal procedure???
No zhit, Sherlock.
Every death is ultimately a cardiac arrest.
At his age, I doubt anything could be done.
He died in his sleep.
As a specialist just old me 2 days ago...

Of course it’s natural because everyone sleeps with a pillow over their head, right?
the CIA has the market on artificially induced heart attacks
There was no Autopsy. How can it be ruled a heart attack?
... Guess the heart attack was so serious that he had to be embalmed within hours of dying ..... Guess that’s standard protocol in MARFA, Texas. Heck .... You sure don’t want others to catch a heart attack.
“...myocardial infarction — or a heart attack — would likely be the cause of death listed...”
No need for detail on his death since he was only a very important government official.....Justice and all...
The vet gives me a better description than this of my dog’s intestinal problems!!
The guy was nearly 80 years old.
Sometimes people croak because it’s their time. Better to have gone in his sleep than had any number of unpleasant endings. Strokes, Cancer, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and many more....
What an absolute crock.
Old people die, but it certainly isn’t out in the weeds to think that the democrats know they are going to lose this election. Obama’s legacy could be on the line unless he can stack the court with 5 commies to 4 conservatives.
I am not saying this is what has happened, but the left doesn’t like losing.
My beloved nephew was found dead in a motel room and they did an autopsy on him, of course he was only forty-three. It was cardiac arrest. If they did one on my nephew! Why wouldn’t they do one on Scalia? Of course, a lot of things can cause cardiac arrest, which is why I always thought Breitbart’s death suspicious, but Scalia was 79 yrs old and docs confirmed he had chronic conditions.
I do not understand why an autopsy was not performed.
It does not mean he did not die of natural causes, but why
not confirm, just to be sure?
Maybe there’s a connection to Breitbart!
I’ve been a hospital nurse for a long time.
Every time we have a death, even if the patient was on hospice, we have to call it into the county medical examiner and answer a lot of questions before the person on the phone gives us a number to put on the death certificate saying there’s no cause for an investigation. That way the employees at the funeral director’s have permission to pick up the body from the morgue and take it to the funeral home for cremation or embalming.
If the patient dies within 24 hours of admission or was healthy when last seen and was “found down in the community,” then that’s a mandatory autopsy.
This is in King County, Washington, but I’m sure the laws are pretty similar elsewhere.
