[quote=paramount]Death Investigator: Scalia’s Death Probe ‘Very Troubling to Me’
“Cases like this show you need a solid system. He was found dead; it was not a witnessed death. That is very troubling to me,” he told LawNewz.com.
At a minimum, a thorough external examination should have been done, together with collection of bodily fluids for testing.[/quote]My understanding was that Scalia’s family didn’t want an autopsy. They’re the only ones who have standing to sue. In addition, I believe Judge Guevara (who pronounced him dead in absentia) spoke to at least one of his two (DC-based) doctors who had seen him a few days earlier. That doctor told her that he had warned the Justice that he was in “poor health.” No details were given as to what “poor health” meant. In any case, if he had 1-2 doctors who had just seen the Justice prior to going on that trip who stated to him (and later, others) that he was in “poor health,” then that alone would prevent the family from taking any legal action against the resort or TX government as medical doctors are considered “experts” in their field and are not easily impeached.
In short, there are very likely a lot of things the TX government (and the MSM) didn’t and don’t know about the state of the Justice’s health at the time of his death.
