The Washington Post is reporting Texas Judge, Cinderela Guevara, pronounced U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia, dead "without seeing his body." Scalia passed away this past weekend at the upscale Cibolo Creek Ranch in Shafter, Texas, with no security in tow, as he declined protection while on vacation at the resort. The owner of the Cibolo Creek Ranch stated to the press, "We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled. He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap."

Guevara stated she acted on information provided to her by authorities. However, in light of claims he passed away with a pillow over his head, which Judge Guevara may not have been informed about, an autopsy should have been performed. I dislike this rush by Washington to usher Scalia into the grave with such serious questions surrounding his death. In the interest of justice and equity, an autopsy should have been performed.

The former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police, William O. Ritchie stated, "You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack.” He has a good point.

I find it upsetting that Scalia was found with a pillow over his head. Anyone with a heart should feel sad about that. I didn't agree with his racial rulings, but he was a human being. I sincerely hope he was not killed, but the manner in which he was found, with a pillow over his face, doesn't look good. It's downright sad, as what it implies is horrible. I don't like conspiracy theories, but what are people supposed to think under the circumstances.

Texas judge defends decision not to order autopsy for Justice Scalia

By Mark Berman February 16 at 7:33 PM -  The top elected official in the Texas county where Antonin Scalia was found dead says the U.S. Supreme Court Justice died of natural causes. The Texas judge who pronounced Justice Antonin Scalia dead over the weekend but did not request an autopsy defended her decision Tuesday in the face of questions and conspiracy theories floating online, saying she was respecting the wishes of his relatives.

After Scalia died suddenly at a remote West Texas resort, a chaotic and confused scene unfolded in the remote region not far from the border with Mexico. It took hours to find a justice of the peace, and when they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead without seeing his body, which is allowed under Texas law.

This decision was made based on what Scalia’s family wanted and what she was told by a law enforcement official, Guevara said. Guevara decided against the autopsy after the county sheriff told her “there were no signs of foul play or struggle, and that it appeared that Justice Scalia had died peacefully in his sleep,” she said in a statement Tuesday...

The decision not to order an autopsy has prompted skeptical questions from law enforcement, like William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police. “You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack,” Ritchie wrote on Facebook. He also questioned whether authorities could be sure “that he was not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack.”...
