The troll on the far right is the "Judge" who phoned it in.

Veteran homicide investigators in New York and Washington, DC, on Monday questioned the way local and federal authorities in Texas handled the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
"It's not unreasonable to ask for an autopsy in this case, particularly knowing who he is," retired Brooklyn homicide Detective Patricia Tufo told The Post.
"He's not at home. There are no witnesses to his death, and there was no reported explanation for why a pillow is over his head," Tufo said. "So I think under the circumstances it's not unreasonable to request an autopsy. Despite the fact that he has pre-existing ailments and the fact that he's almost 80 years old, you want to be sure that it's not something other than natural causes."
Bill Ritchie, a retired deputy chief and former head of criminal investigations for the DC police, said he was dumbstruck when he learned that no autopsy would be performed.
"I took a look at the report and I almost fell out of my chair," Ritchie told The Post from his home in Maryland.
"I used to be an instructor in the homicide school. Every death investigation you are handling, you consider it a homicide until the investigation proves otherwise," Ritchie said.
"How do you know that person wasn't smothered? How do you know it's not a homicide until you conduct an investigation? You have to do your job. Once you go through that process, you can conclude that this is a naturally occurring death."
Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara said she declared Scalia dead via telephone based on what cops and marshals at the scene told her -- that there were no signs of foul play.

Yes, I agree. My wife thought the same thing. Supposedly you have a criminal who is smart enough to sneak in and out undetected, and then fails to put a pillow back into place?
I say even IF there was a pillow over the face, do people who have heart attacks always lay there peacefully while it is happening?
Either way, I think an autopsy should be done, just to be sure, but I don’t think anything nefarious happened here.
Why did his son cancelled accompaning him at last minute?
For the person of this importance dying alone in these circumstances, the autopsy should be automatic and mandetory
My second thought was why didn't they check his eyes for petechiae (tiny red dots of blood on his eyeballs indicating increased pressure). Alone, petechiae does not prove or disprove, but it should send up red flags.
What did the President know and when did he know it?
Government killers have become so good, would what they did even show up in an autopsy?
Glad to know I am not the only one... it’s been hard to deal with the infighting on the threads lately, let alone playground bullying...Have a good one!

Mississippi isn’t exactly a metropolis. I’ve had pts in very remote areas, you still have to drive there. And every county has a coroner, not to mention you simply take his body to the ME and then they can do the autopsy.
Thanks. You, too.

I would be willing to wager I do not have to guess or looks up what her political affiliation is.
I wonder if the family refused the autopsy because he had too much alcohol the night before at dinner. Maybe a finding like that would have been embarrassing? Just a wild guess with nothing to back it up.
I think the closest coroner and ME is in Odessa, Ector County. About 200 miles away.

I have lived with someone who is like that for the past few decades. ; ) It is good since by comparison I am a pig. But at times my wife can go overboard. I am sure that if I ever drove her over the edge... nothing would be out of place in the room they found me in.
As smart as the good justice was suppose to be... you would think that he would be a little more careful about accepting non-solicited free offers from Democrat insiders. One would think that his suspicion might have been heightened after it was suggested that his security detail stay somewhere miles away. And that is one of the known weaknesses with us older folks, no matter how well we are doing financially, many of us still cannot resist a free offer.
After working as a firefighter for 25 years... I went to thousands of dead people. And as you say the way this was handled is unheard of. The people here who are saying he is dead, nothing to see, lets just move on... they do not have a clue. This is not the way it is done anywhere in the country that I know of. It is nothing short of OUTRAGEOUS!
Excellent post.
If I was a family member I’d want to know the cause of death if only as a caution flag for my own families health care. There are different kinds of heart attacks, arrhythmias, embolisms that cause sudden death. To not have an autopsy is absurd allegedly because he was 79 and had known health problems. It is even more absurd that the authorities didn’t proceed on their own due to his position and circumstances.
I keep hearing how he was about to write a few decisions for the court and may have been the deciding vote in others and they will now all be void. You've got to ask, who profits from his demise? One of the biggies was on executive power...And I read one report that said his doctor said he wasn't feeling well. Then why let him leave DC and head to a spa leaving his security team at home?
I would say he was as important or more so to the country then even the President. If some one walked into Obama’s rental in Hawaii and he was dead, do you think they'd just call it in?
No we know for a fact that no profesional physically examined the body.
That alone should set off a huge red flag to any normal objective person. Even life time detectives in this artilcle agree with that.
You can spin and dance all you want about this but this is NOT normal no matter how bad you wish it would just go away. It will not.
LOL!
Thanks and I feel worse now. Oh she looks as innocent as a little baby deer.... NOT!
