Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who pronounced Scalia dead, told ABC News the death certificate will say the cause of death was natural, and that he died of a heart attack. She said no autopsy was necessary.
Scalia’s remains were discreetly driven by van overnight to an El Paso funeral home with an escort from a procession of Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers and U.S. Marshals Service vehicles.
After arriving at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, the Sunset Funeral Home embalmed Scalia’s remains, according to Chris Lujuan, a funeral home manager.
“Anytime a head of state, member of Congress, or the most conservative member of the U.S. Supreme Court is found dead, an extensive autopsy and toxicology examination should be both immediate and mandatory,” said Gheen.
“The horrid reaction and comments about his death expressed by many liberals online illustrate that Scalia was hated by many people.

n Washington, any suggestion that a Supreme Court justice might be unwell can cause a frenzy.
This is part of why details about the justices’ health are so closely guarded — and why they can become a major issue, even for court nominees.

then why was there no autopsy? im sure there are plenty of chemicals/poisons in the world that could mimic a heart attack. and you dont even have to cut him open just get some blood for the toxicology.

Autopsies are generally not performed. They're only performed under suspicious cases or indeterminate cause of death.
He was fat, he was 79. Deal with it.

lack of an autopsy would undoubtedly cause a great deal of speculation and "conspiracy" theories.
Fact is, we neither like nor trust the government.
So why give people another reason?

About 3:30 a.m. Sunday, Scalia’s family declined to have an autopsy performed, Lujan said so the body was being prepared for funeral and was expected to be transported back to Washington on Monday. Late Sunday, it was under guard by six law enforcement officials, including U.S. marshals and Texas state troopers, he said.
The next morning, Scalia did not show up for breakfast. Poindexter at first thought he might be sleeping late, but eventually grew concerned. Late Saturday morning, he and one other person knocked on the door to Scalia’s room, an expansive suite called the “El Presidente.” When there was no answer, they went inside. “Everything was in perfect order. He was in his pajamas, peacefully, in bed,” Poindexter said.
and Scalia’s physician in Washington, who said the 79-year-old justice suffered from a host of chronic conditions.
Emergency personnel and officials from the U.S. Marshals Service were called to the scene, then two local judges who also serve as justices of the peace, Guevara said. Both were out of town, she said — not unusual in a remote region where municipalities are miles apart.

because his family didn't want one? Law enforcement, his doctor, US Marshalls, nobody saw anything out the of the ordinary. And the "gatekeeper of the constitution" was old and overweight, host of health issues, and wasn't found in any disarray.
Could an autopsy even detect one of your heart attack guns? Or if he HAD an autopsy, would you accept "TPTB" results anyways?
