What suspicious circumstances? The man was 80 years old, obese, diabetic, a lifelong smoker with a history of health issues.
It's unknown circumstances. It's normal when a person dies unattended that an autopsy be done. The problem here is that even though odds are it was a natural death, they prudent thing didn't happen. That would've been Secret Service be involved before anybody else was. Now, the conspiracy theories are inevitable.
DD...
Where did you hear diabetic? We have heard he has High Blood Pressure and Heart Issues, but this is new.
Not an MD on this end, H.B.P. can be handled, the other 2 can compound things.
FWIW, their are Senior's in my world going through health issues as well as many of my peers and a number have also passed. An interesting discussion item has surfaced and that is, some in my circles have noted how one spouse went off and passed without their loved ones around, as if as to save them the grief of the experience as they pass. What Scalia did pretty much fits the mold, even more so that he wasn't sick and it wasn't if he passed while his wife left the room for a moment. He went living his life to the fullest, going to this ranch and having a steak, as if he almost knew. Any other discussion from the likes of world-nut-daily is folly IMHO...
How the Democrats involved acted- not even viewing the body, no autopsy, embalmed at 330-400am in the morning, pillow on head...
Who was reportedly fine when he went to his room.....at a vacation ranch owned by a big Obama donor.....located in a county in Texas controlled by Democrats.....pronounced dead over the telephone by a Democrat Justice of the Peace.....who then declared no autopsy will be done (even though he was found with a pillow over his face).....and the deceased was immediately embalmed, which obscures many of the toxicology results that might have been obtained from a blood sample. Yeah......I don’t see any suspicious circumstances either. /SARCASM
All the requirements for a perfect assassination.

He was also "unbelievably energetic" and his health was "very robust," according to his close friend and co-author, Bryan Garner, who was "stunned and shocked" at his friend's death. Garner had just spent 14 hours a day with him during a nearly two-week Asian trip that ended the week before the hunting trip. Source: The National Law Journal.

Please cite a source for Scalia being diabetic.
Then why not do an autopsy to remove all doubt. If you're correct, that'd be a snap.
Instead, no autopsy on a man with a pillow over his head, who "just happens" to be the single most conservative member of the Supreme Court, and a rush to get the man embalmed (which interferes with toxicology studies). If you WANT conspiracy theories and to feed the growing mistrust of government, I cannot think of a better way - except to have McConnell inexplicably allow a vote on a replacement (which, given the spinelessness of the Republicans and the willingness of the Dems to do ANYTHING to achieve power, is undoubtedly coming).
