Justice Scalia's children and grandchildren have paid tribute to him while his doctor has raised questions about the veteran jurist's health.
The 79-year-old, who sat on the Supreme Court bench for 20 years, is believed to have had a history of heart problems, high blood pressure and was too weak to have a shoulder operation.
He was found dead at a ranch in Texas during a retreat with friends and admirers, prompting a flood of tributes from his loved ones.
Many uploaded pictures of him holding his grandchildren in more relaxed settings, away from the courtroom.
His grand-son Antonin 'Nino' Scalia led the heartfelt messages from his family, referring to him as 'Pop-Pop'.

Until there is an autopsy, you assume he’s murdered.
I’m only 59 and I’m having a heart scan today and an echocardiogram on Fri to make sure I don’t have blockage or a tiny hole between chambers. Just had bloodwork yesterday that was ordered by hematologist.
Our family has weak plumbing. My father, brother and I have all had to have Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms repaired in the last few years. One of those things you never knows you have. No symptoms. We all found ours while Dr. was looking for other issues.
Father an I have both had strokes. Fortunately, it only affected eyesight in both of us. The different “..ologists” I’ve seen all want to be proactive in staving off another.
I hate getting old.

Where was he that he was at 4600 ft?
My neighbor is in his mid 40’s great shape, hard working, no sign of heart issues, had a heart attack he survived this summer. He just under went his colon screening, which he has every 2 yrs, 7 polyps removed this time.
My grandmother in her late 70’s went to the grocery store for the week driven by my uncle, came in and dropped dead of a massive heart attack, death was instant all she complained of was indigestion.
Late husband came in said I think I have food poisoning, now a honey bun and a thermos of coffee black was all he had, had that day, he laid down and I saw him just slump, and he was gone of a massive heart attack at 57. Heart issues ran in his family.
I hate getting older too, and their is not much they can do for me as I’m the drug side effect queen. Then after reading about the drugs, most of them will kill you or give you cancer.
I have multiple health issues and some of them are Physio, med or doctor caused. I am terrified of their drugs, have had to many horrible reactions.
