And then they killed him.
They didn't kill him. He died of a heart attack at age 79. Scalia had existing health issues, including coronary artery disease, was obese, had diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hardly the picture of health. Is anyone surprised a nearly 80 year old guy with all those health issues had a heart attack?
There is a reason you don't see a bunch of obese guys kicking around at 90. It's not because someone killed them.

You don't see any fat people in nursing homes.

He may of had health issues but he died with a pillow over his face.

Justice Antonin Scalia's official cause of death was myocardial infarction (a heart attack), determined by a Texas county judge who ruled it as natural causes without an autopsy,
By a judge with no autopsy No cover up here If you believe them I got a beachfront home I'll sell you in the Sahara Desert

Au contraire. There is (used to be?) a nursing home in the Hudson Valley that had an entire floor dedicated to fat people. Took one out of there that reportedly weighed 750lbs.
We had to use a purpose built ambulance that had a power "tailgate" type of ramp and a floor mounted winch to pull the stretcher in.
Unfortunately, this was before the days of powered stretchers so we had to manually lift/lower it. Went to Danbury Hospital where we had 10 people to get him out and into the ER
There wasn't a grand cover up. The family requested no autopsy. He was an old fat guy with lots of health issues. If anything I'm surprised he made it to 79 with his issues.
Though I would say declaring it 100% a heart attack is sort of flimsy without a confirming autopsy. A better declaration would have been: "no autopsy at request of family, no indications of foul play, natural cause heart attack suspected". Something that outlined what they thought it was without a complete declaration.
