Re Scalia: Has it occurred to anyone that it might be a suicide? Therefore nobody wanted an autopsy.

The chances of that are, if not zero, infinitesimal. Scalia had numerous health issues, certainly wasn't young, and suicide would have represented a serious moral transgression in light of his religious beliefs.

The immediate outpouring of political rhetoric before his body was even cold was vulgar and unseemly, and the conspiracy theories that accompanied it ludicrously absurd. Sadly, both are common threads in our present mode of political 'discourse'.
