Just FYI if you check the numbers less than 10% of all deaths are autopsied in the US
With no signs of foul play in an over weight older person with known health issues unless family requests one foe medical info it is not typically done
All I am saying is that procedure was not followed, or at best was sloppily performed, regarding the death of a high profile government official.
This is not John Smith private citizen, this is Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The body was found in the morning after Scalia did not show up for breakfast. http://www.ksat.com/news/supreme-court-justice-antonin-scalia-79-dies
The body arrived at El Paso at 2:30 AM. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/body-of-supreme-court-justice-antonin-scalia-arrives-in-el-paso-awaits-flight-to-dc/ar-BBpufxo after a three hour trip http://woodtv.com/2016/02/14/scalias-body-at-funeral-home-after-3-hour-procession/ Which indicates a departure time of 11:30 PM
So let’s say breakfast was at 8:30 AM. By perhaps 10:00 people went to find him (I have not seen any report listing the time of discovery).
That’s nearly 12 hours between discovery and transport.
During that time neither of the two JP’s nor the County Judge on whom the duty devolves saw the body.
In all that time the County Judge did not see the body and, without an autopsy to determine the cause of death of the found body, literally phones it in that the cause of death is “natural”.
After arriving at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, the Sunset Funeral Home embalmed Scalia’s remains, according to Chris Lujuan, a funeral home manager.

Have to admit, coming within days of the Court’s slapdown of Obama’s EPA, I had to entertain some tinfoil hat ideas.
From the same article:
_ _ _
Judge Guevara said she was shopping in the neighboring town of Alpine on Saturday afternoon when Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez called her on her mobile phone after lunch.
_ _ _
Guevara officially pronounced him dead at 1:52 p.m. on Saturday.
_ _ _
She planned to drive to the ranch - about 30 minutes south of Marfa - but returned when a U.S. Marshal told her by phone: “It’s not necessary for you to come, judge. If you’re asking for an autopsy, that’s what we need to clarify.”
_ _ _
Both justices of the peace are out of town at this time,’ Guevara recounted to WFAA.
_ _ _
Guevara officially pronounced him dead at 1:52 p.m. on Saturday. She will be the local official who signs his death certificate.
Hours earlier, the county judge told WFAA that myocardial infarction - or a heart attack - would likely be the cause of death listed. Guevara later said she would confer with the Justice’s personal physician on what specifically to show as the cause of death.

Completely agree with you. I’m also hoping there is more clarification on the incredibly high level of motive involved. When you stop to think about it, it’s surprising any of them are alive.
Given the way that the Left views the Supreme Court as a political vehicle for advancing their agenda (especially when it's at odds with what the American people want), I have wondered sometimes if they would resort to murdering a conservative member of the Court (during a Democrat administration, of course). If they tried that it would be the Stalin/Clinton technique of making a murder appear to be either a suicide or natural causes.
... I don't understand the desire for ignorance ..... if you didn't perform an autopsy you always will remain ignorant of hard facts... so now its just filling in everything with the assumptions and don't get upset when people make different assumptions then you do
I agree with you, probably it was merciful that his son wasn’t there.
Look to many
Scalia dying at a convenient time = IRS disk drive crashes at a convenient time
look old people die and disk drives do crash ..
.but in both cases if it’s really important old men and really important disk drives
you do double check....
and if you say oh I don’t have to double check then your choosing ignorance.... you don’t want to do the basic
Maybe they couldn’t get to him, like they got to John Roberts.
I don’t believe in serendipity....
I'd say this would be a circumstance where an ME would call for an autopsy. It's not just "up to the family."
“Obummer is going to make damn sure Scalia is replaced by Eric Holder.”
I hope Justice Scalia had a natural death. But the way he has died, alone, in a remote area, in suspicious circumstances which will never be fully believed as being natural, really ties Obummer’s hands trying to benefit from it. If he suggests someone like Holder, or Loretta Lynch, both obviously unacceptable, as possible replacements, it will just incense people and make people more firm in their beliefs Justice Scalia was murdered. I think Obummer will HAVE to suggest someone mainstream in this instance just for appearances sake. Whomever he promotes should be refused to be considered by the Senate until a new President is at the helm.
I agree with you.
From your lips to God’s ear.
In his case, I would in a nano second.
No the American Government and the current Obama administration would never conspire to do anything against the will of the people of this nation. Oh wait GM, Obamacare, Solyndra, IRS investigations of Tea Party, Benghazi......No they wouldn’t put a hit on a sitting Supreme to try and inflict more lasting damage to this country on their way out the door.
Nooooooo, lalalalalalalalalala I can’t hear you conspiracy theorists. Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are nothing more than nutters from the cracker bin.
http://theantimedia.org/10-conspiracy-theories-that-turned-out-to-be-true/
People won’t even believe that conspiracies are real when they are being lined up to be shot by the ones they can’t believe would conspire.
Government is either corrupt and will do anything to stay in place or nothing it does is corrupt. Can’t have it both ways. Either Benghazi happened where American lives were sacrificed for only GOD knows what or they weren’t. If they would sacrifice an Ambassador and four distinguished military men then it is not a stretch they would assassinate a sitting justice who was a key vote in divided cases.
The Trials Of Pronouncing Antonin Scalia Dead In West Texas

Sounds like no one bothered to tell two of the justices that the body was Justice Scalia. They more than likely thought it was an illegal migrant who had been dead for some time.
