That's a strong premise that I certainly don't agree with. There was no attempt to hide any evidence whatsoever.
If Judge Scalia were my dad and knowing the health problems he suffered with, there is no way in hell would I agree to an autopsy which would likely require the top of his skull cut off, his chest cavity opened and a total inspection of his organs and dead body.
Leave the family alone by respecting their wishes and let them bury their father's body intact with the respect and reverence he deserves.......
That's all they're asking.........
Wow!
What if every family had the right to veto an autopsy after a suspicious death.
Here is the case for suspicious circumstances:
Initially cause of reported as a heart attack, then changed to natural causes.
Pillow reported to be over head, then changed to on top of head.
No person witnessed death
No doctor present at time of death.
No doctor ruled on cause of death.
Death determined by a non-medical personnel, a judge.
Judged ruled death and cause of death over the phone.
No autopsy!
Body sent to funeral home and embalmed, thus denying blood samples/toxicology
Death occurred at resort owned by big Obama donor
Marshals report that Scalia refused protection
Several very big cases voted on by Scalia now voided by his death.
The families right to privacy does not preclude the public’s right to determine the exact cause of death of such an important figure that affects the lives of every citizenate justice of the US SC.
