A government official has told CNN that Scalia indicated to friends he wasn't feeling well when he went to bed that Friday evening.
There was no mention of how the jurist felt that night in the Presidio County sheriff's report. Poindexter and one of the late conservative stalwart's friends, identified in the report as Allen Foster, both said that, after supper, "Scalia had said that he was tired and was going to his room."

Awesome find.
Wonder what brought him out of anonymity.
When Dominguez arrived, he met Poindexter and Allen Foster, who is described in the report as "a close friend of Scalia" who had flown in with him the day before.
C. Allen Foster is a prominent Washington lawyer who has argued before the Supreme Court. It was not immediately clear whether C. Allen Foster was the Scalia friend referred to in the report. A representative from his law firm said that he was traveling and that she would try to reach him.
A hose for the breathing machine was found on the left side of Scalia's bed, but was not attached to him. Scalia's briefcase was found closed, on a recliner. On the kitchen counter, the sheriff found a "blue stretch band exercise device." A shaving kit was on the counter in the bathroom. And his shoes were placed next to the bathtub.
Scalia's suitcase was open, and the contents were neatly folded. A shirt was folded on the sofa. On the table to the right of his bed, the sheriff found a flashlight and a pitcher of water with a napkin folded over the top. On a table in the room, there was an "orange cap, a set of keys, a pen, a watch, and a bottle of water."

Think it was Clarence Thomas who gave them the information? Is he worried about his own life?
Or was it Ruth Bader Ginsberg, given that she and Scalia were close friends?
The report stated that the justice's body was found in bed with a pillowcase covering his eyes. A breathing apparatus was on the table next to the bed, but it was switched off. Scalia was lying on three pillows "stacked up to elevate his head."
Scalia's sheets and pillows "were still in the creased position from that day's room service, indicating that there was no struggle involved," the report said. The top pillowcase "appeared to have shifted at some point in the night due to the weight of his pillow, causing the pillow case to slide down and cover his eyes."
The sheriff noted that the position of the pillow "did not seem to have inhibited Scalia's breathing."

So they've translated the word 'tired' into meaning 'not feeling well.' Figures!
Dear Hon. Cinderela Guevara,:
Under the Texas Public Information Act, §6252-17a et seq., I am requesting electronic copies of public records that relate to the death of Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia. Specifically, I request a copy of the letter from Rear Adm. Brian P. Monahan regarding Judge Scalia’s medical conditions referred to in the AP story found at this web address:
bigstory.ap.org/article/a625688daed3426781d4385f4b7af5e4/ap-newsbreak-scalia-suffered-many-health-problems
If there are any fees for searching, copying, or digitizing these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $10. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of Justice Scalia’s death. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.
The Texas Public Information Act requires that you "promptly produce" the requested records unless, within 10 days, you have sought an Attorney General's Opinion. If you expect a significant delay in responding to this request, please contact me with information about when I might expect the requested copies. You may use my email address to fulfill this request and for all correspondence: XXX.
If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
XXX
