The Obama's MSM has just announced that Justice Antonin Scalia's death was from "natural causes"....and no autopsy is necessary. This is truly beyond belief. I am truly speechless....don't know what to say. Voices of reason....please come forth. I'm sorry to be rude, but I don't really want to hear left wing rants on "whatever!" ....save yourself the time and trouble. I know who you are and your post will not be read.

Whether or not an autopsy is performed is determined by the family, not the President, you Obama hating moron.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

This is reminiscent of some of the people who got in the Clinton's way. As I understand it the law can determine that an autopsy is required or the family can order it. Maybe the family can demand it, even if the officials say it was not necessary. On the other hand, Vince Fosters death, a bullet to the head, entering from the back, was ruled as suicide. These people are not ethical. We will have to wait and see. Maybe Judicial Watch can push for an autopsy.

Autopsies are determined by the authorities, not family, president or anyone else. They are normally performed to determine the cause of death if death occurs without the presence of a medical professional being in attendance within a specified period of time.

Oh no Poppa. Never you! We only get what this admiinistration's media MSM wants us to know. (Main Stream Media.) I do pray if there are things that need investigating in regard to this wonderful mans death....it will come to light.

You have to admit the timing is a bit weird, its not like Scalia has ObamaCare, they still have good insurance and top of the line physicians.
I am not aware of previous complications.

Sorry sir...but you are the MORON in this case. And from reading your past posts, (which I might add is a thing of the past)...you exemplify the fact. Read up! Educate yourself before posting! Know that any future responses from you will not be read.

Know what your talking about 3jack.

I'm going out on a limb here.

But in almost 95% of all deaths an autopsy is always performed.

The only autopsy that is not performed is the loved one's family member who under a direct care of a physician for medical treatment and known medical conditions, as in my fathers death.

His death was ruled as a heart attack, that's because I was preforming CPR on him. I witnessed the heart attack.

This is not the same circumstance, and you don't get to dictate and speculate whether an autopsy is preformed or not. . . . under any circumstances.


Here are the statutes regarding autopsies.

CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

TITLE 1. CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

CHAPTER

49. INQUESTS UPON DEAD BODIES

SUBCHAPTER A. DUTIES PERFORMED BY JUSTICES OF THE PEACE

Required autopsies
http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/autopsy-16080

An autopsy may be required in deaths that have medical and legal issues and that must be investigated by the medical examiner's or coroner's office, the governmental office that is responsible for investigating deaths that are important to the public's health and welfare. Deaths that must be reported to and investigated by the medical examiner's or coroner's office can vary by state and may include those that have occurred:

Suddenly or unexpectedly, including the sudden death of a child or adult, or the death of a person who was not under the care of a doctor at the time of death.

As a result of any type of injury, including a fall, motor vehicle accident (MVA), drug overdose, or poisoning.

Under suspicious circumstances, such as a suicide or murder.

Under other circumstances defined by law.

In some of these deaths, an autopsy may be required, and the coroner or medical examiner has the legal authority to order an autopsy without the consent of the deceased person's family (next of kin).

If an autopsy is not required by law, it cannot be performed unless the deceased person's family gives permission.

Here is what is being reported "

The Washington Post reported that after Scalia’s body was found:

It then took hours for authorities in remote West Texas to find a justice of the peace, officials said Sunday.

When they did, she pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body and decided not to order an autopsy.

A second justice of the peace, who was called but couldn’t get to Scalia’s body in time, said she would have ordered an autopsy.


As late as Sunday afternoon, there were conflicting reports about whether an autopsy would be performed, though officials later said Scalia’s body was being embalmed and there would be no autopsy.

One report, by WFAA-TV in Dallas, said the death certificate would show the cause of the death was a heart attack.

As late as Sunday afternoon, for example, there were conflicting reports about whether an autopsy should have been performed.
