Just curious...
You seem to think he was in great shape? The judge that made the “call” talked to his doctor. Just last week the Justice had an MRI. I never had one of those for no reason. After a relative short discussion with the Doctor, the judge made the call.
Now, put yourself in the judge”’s shoes. What could he have heard after these conversations that would have led him to a natural death conclusion.
I appreciate the concerns...but there is so much you do not know—and have no legal or morale right to know—that the facts stand on their own.
I’ve been around a lot of old people. MOST of them die this way. Except it’s at home. That is the only difference.

Your experience is different from mine. What I’ve seen is that people decline in health first. Then they die. By that I mean they decline in ways that are perceptible to others. Scalia had been serving on the SC and that very day he had been doing something sporting (hunting?). He was fit enough to go on a weekend trip. He did not appear to be at death’s door. Therefore, his death was surprising, shocking, unexpected. In any case, it will have fallout. For this reason alone we should be very, very sure about what happened.
