Scalia’s Death Target Of Conspiracy Theorists

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died Feb. 13 at a luxury hunting resort in Texas’ Big Bend region. It took hours for authorities to find Scalia’s body, and no autopsy was ordered. Former head of criminal investigations for the D.C. police, William O. Ritchie, publicly questioned the lack of autopsy and the manner with which Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara announced the manner of death – by pronouncing it to be of natural causes before seeing the body. “You have a Supreme Court Justice who died, not in attendance of a physician,” Ritchie wrote. “You have a non-homicide trained US Marshal tell the justice of the peace that no foul play was observed. You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack. What medical proof exists of a myocardial Infarction? Why not a cerebral hemorrhage?”
