No autopsy for Justice Antonin Scalia. Wait, what???

Logged into the insane asylum long enough to say this is shady all the way around.

It's too close on the heels of his controversial remarks and suspicious based on where the Court is at right now in terms of upcoming decisions.

Politics as usual around here (US).

Fact is, we neither like nor trust the government.

Amen to that!

Why shouldn't I suspect foul play?

As opposed to the unwarranted paranoia?

There are a lot of incredible important decisions needing action by the court,before the won leaves office, decisions people might kill over?

And some of those decisions are so to die for.

What Happened JUST BEFORE Justice Scalia Died is Raising Some SERIOUS Questions

How dare an overweight, 79 year old man die of a heart-attack. Not every single action on the planet requires a conspiracy, a false-flag or other nefarious plot.

Poindexter is apparently a Democrat (makes sense if celebs come out there), Who's friend suggested he invite Scalia to the ranch. Scalia dies, is apparently found with a pillow over his head.

Do I have your permission to question the official story now?

a reply to: DuckforcoveR

Unwarranted paranoia? Have you been paying attention at all to any of what's been happening since 2008? Since 2001?

"A thousand points of light", my friend.

Oh good god.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a known liberal, is also a good friend of Scalia's. Well, was.

Did she kill him with a pillow too?

That makes as much sense as anything else here.

Maybe he was killed with HAARP? Or with that Black Oil stuff from The X-Files?

The media knows how to keep people reading their sources. ATS provides a good place when opportunities to create conspiracy headlines. YaaY media

Vote Hillary let it burn 2016

I have, just not through any specific set of lenses, for that I apologize. But I don't think there's a conspiracy to be had with everything. Case in point: Old, overweight, and unhealthy man dies. Powerful or not, it happens. To EVERYBODY.

Well, maybe you're right, but still, Scalia was a man who held a lot of stopping power against a man who has no respect for due process of law.

As a civil servant, his death should be investigated.

a reply to: Leonidas

Shouldn't the attempt be made to make sure there wasn't a conspiracy? Who benefits from his death more than a sitting President who can now, at the least, attempt to load the court with, shall we say, a less than conservative justice?

I find this less than above board.

How does a high govt. official die without there being an investigation as to cause?

a reply to: hephalump
If there was an investigation would you believe the results? JFK and 9/11 come to mind idk why but they do.

The investigation might not benefit the religion of those on the left

Not much stopping power, apparently. He sure didn't accomplish much in the way of stopping the anti-Constitutional PATRIOT acts. He supported the decision to allow corporations to donate unlimited money to politicians, regardless of who the stockholders of said corporations are. All in all, he was ineffectual at best, but more accurately, at least an enemy of the Constitution and probably worse.

ya know, you can call his family foolish or whatever you wish, but that family knew his state of health batter than anyone on these boards. they would also be more likely to know if he felt his life was endangered. the medical examiners didn't see any reason to require an autopsy, the family didn't want one done, All of which are running on way more information than we are. weather or not we trust the gov't, the medical examiners, the doctors, to tell us the truth is irrelevant, since at the end of the day for all we know, the justice could be in tahiti drinking cocktails on some beach, glad he doesn't have to get involved with the senseless partisan bickering that is killing the US!!

feeling robbed because they honored the family's desire to not do one is just being selfish! and, ya, some of yas sound like you feel that we, the people, are entitled to decide instead of the family, or the medical examiner, or anyone else, robbed of our rights.

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.

If his family wanted an autopsy, there'd be one. My understanding is that the family declined an autopsy.

So you've got law enforcement saying no signs of foul play, a personal physician who hasn't thrown up any red flags (and IIRC, has been quoted as saying Scalia was suffering from a number of conditions) and a family that declined an autopsy.

Obviously his wife of 50+ years and nine children are in on it as well as his physician, US Marshals and (I believe) local law enforcement.

Because in our society, our free society, the wishes of the deceased person's family are given great consideration. Some people even — if you can believe it — reject autopsy outright on religious grounds. Now if there were signs of foul play, in the interests of the deceased person and society in general, an autopsy would be ordered.

Like all deaths, it was investigated - what makes you think it was not?

Then there is this

The percentage of deaths for which an autopsy was performed declined more than 50 percent from 1972 through 2007, from 19.3 percent to 8.5 percent. External causes accounted for 9 of the 10 most frequently autopsied causes of death. The percentage autopsied declined with age after ages 15–24: from 60 percent at 15–24, to 11 percent at 55–64, to less than 5 percent at 65–74.[

Only 2% of deaths of people his age have a autopsy.

Mafia hit.

Bring in someone and give the old man a heart attack.

I was under the impression that unattended deaths need to be autopsied .
