The judge who pronounced him dead, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, did so over the phone ... 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." ...The family, reportedly, did not want an autopsy and the judge decided against it after speaking with the authorities on the scene over the phone.
I must say, I do get hung up on the word ‘reportedly’ in that commentary. Has the family spoken at all? Because the word ‘reportedly’ isn’t anywhere close to a confirmation of the information.
