Report: Sheriff Was Told he Had No Authority in Scalia Death

A sheriff's report offers a detailed account of the hours after Antonin Scalia's body was found in Texas, describing how the owner of the luxury resort where the Supreme Court justice died told the sheriff he had no authority in the matter. The report also includes a reference to a pillow that spawned conspiracy theories. A look at the sheriff's account:

When the body of the 79-year-old Scalia was found Feb. 13 in his bed at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, ranch owner John Poindexter was initially vague when reporting the death to authorities, the report said.

Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez complained that he was delayed in responding because Poindexter would not reveal during a phone call who had died.

"I then advised Poindexter that a death reported in Presidio County was under my jurisdiction and that it should be reported to my office," Dominguez wrote. "He then stated to me that this death was way beyond my authority and that it should go to the Feds."

After a series of phone calls, Dominguez met U.S. marshals at the ranch near Marfa, about 190 miles southeast of El Paso, where they were taken to Scalia's room. They found the jurist face-up in his bed, with sheets pulled to his chin and his hands at his side.

It was a hit by the Obama administration. The family requested there be no autopsy because they were told they were the next names on the list. No autopsy. Classic Chicago Mafia tactics brought to you right straight from the WH and in your white face honky.

The needle mark in his arm, the poetical Hemorrhage in his eyes, and the pillow over his face told everyone he died of natural causes. Come on now, Obama wouldn't lie.
