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.
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.
