Just cuz I can't help myself...following the your Masonic secret meeting theory..That might account for the unusually ordered manner the body was found in? Ritualistic almost?...Not a wrinkle to be had and his hands clasped across his torso..
I asked earlier in this thread about the folded hands and got no answer. What did Poindexter mean by 'his hands were folded across the sheets"? I don't know how a body moves after the heart stops beating. Would that position be maintained, or does it require that someone place his arms and hands in that position?
Funeral Grand Honors
Both arms are crossed on the breast, the left uppermost, and the palms of the hands sharply
striking the shoulders. The hands are then raised above the head, palms to the front, and then let
fall upon the thighs.

Presidio County Justice of the Peace Juanita Bishop, whose precinct includes the ranch, remembers driving up Interstate 67 Saturday morning and noticing an unusually high number of private jets at the ranch property. She figured celebrities or dignitaries were gathering at the ranch for the long weekend.

Listening to the news this morning it is sounding like the family didn't want the autopsy. If anything was hidden it was probably that he had very bad health & covered it up or he was taking a lot of pharm drugs. Won't be surprised if it comes out he had serious heart problems.

Considering that his body was not taken to the funeral home until midnight (I think it arrived in El Paso around 3:30 Sunday a.m.), do you think there was a funeral rite at the resort?

Sometime after 3 p.m., the Rev. Mike Alcuino of the Santa Teresa de Jesús Church in Presidio arrived at the ranch to administer the last rites to Justice Scalia, a Catholic.
“It was just proper to call in a Catholic priest for the last rites,” Father Alcuino said on Sunday. He said that he had been alone with Justice Scalia when he performed the rites, which took about 10 minutes.

Glad you noticed that.
Poindexter secretly wanted to assure all high-ranking Freemasons to know the Justice's body was laid out according to ritual.

The Elks sound like a very benevolent close knit organization of like-minded folks. The famous Elks listed on the above page is interesting.
This is now making me wonder about several things. I won't openly speculate just yet.

Good catch.
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is connected to Scottish Rite Masonry.
