There could be a hundred autopsies and toxicology exams all showing death by natural causes, and yet way to many Freepers would claims that the postmortems were fixed because the pathologist once shared a taxi with a democrat.
“There could be a hundred autopsies and toxicology exams”
But there were none. Cause of death was determined by phone without anyone even seeing the body.
That is the point.

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.
