After police nabbed Justice Scalia and placed him in handcuffs, the Juror appeared “at peace and resigned to his fate,” a police spokesman said.
“He went quietly,” the spokesman said. “He just muttered something like, ‘I don’t want to live in a world like this.’ ”

Poindexter:
"He was in perfect repose in his bed as if he was taking a nap. His face wasn't contorted or anything," Poindexter said. "I went over and felt his hand and it was very cold, no pulse. You could see he was not alive."

So if Poindexter said "his face wasn't contorted or anything"...how could he have seen Scalia's face through the pillow?
Wouldn't that mean that the scene had been tampered with and the pillow removed?...or was Poindexter lying?
Of course he removed the pillow??? no one claimed he didn't? He was likely trying to asses if Justice Scalia was OK.

Fair enough. But that is still, at the time, tampering with a potential crime scene.
Doesn't finding a dead influential old man in bed with a pillow covering his face, generally indicate a possible crime?

A rough, non invasive examination is not enough to establish cause of death with any scientific rigour or certainty in the least. All a surface exam can achieve, is give a coroner a good idea of where to start. Pigmentation of the skin might suggest various types of toxicity, or failures of certain organs. Haemorrhages in the eyes, tiny spots of blood, may indicate asphyxia or other suffocation, and bruising may indicate blunt force or crushing injuries to the body. But without taking blood and testing it thoroughly, without examining the stomach contents, the condition of the liver, lungs, and other major organs, there can be no certainty of cause of death.
Did you know that no one ever died of cancer, or from any other disease? They die because those diseases cause mechanical failings of the body, and it is THOSE which are lethal. To discover ACTUAL cause of death, it is ALWAYS necessary to perform an autopsy, and in my opinion, everyone should get one, automatically upon death, unless they have a religious exemption. Until the body gets opened, nothing is certain.
