Early articles said he did not telling anyone he was not feeling well. Poindexter said Scalia said he wanted to turn in early.
I think the “not feeling well” is invented, unless other people there chimed in, because Poindexter did not say this, in the few articles I’ve read.
Yes the news article I read said Scalia went to bed swing it had been a long tiring week. No mention of feeling ill.
I noticed that too. Pointdexter said there was no indication he was ill.
That makes it more understandable that they didn’t check on him until after lunch, if he didn’t say anything the night before.
An autopsy was needed anyway though, given his high public office and the effect of his death on public policy. The wishes of the family have to give way to the need to be sure no foul play was involved.
