MARFA — A first-time guest to the Cibolo Creek Creek Ranch, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was animated and engaged during dinner Friday night, as one of three dozen invitees to an event that had nothing to do with law or politics, according to the ranch owner.
Just hours later, he would be found dead of apparent natural causes, which media outlets reported on Sunday was a heart attack.Senior Associate Justice Antonin Scalia Found Dead At West Texas Ranch
“He was seated near me and I had a chance to observe him. He was very entertaining. But about 9 p.m. he said, ‘it’s been a long day and a long week, I want to get some sleep,” recalled Houston businessman John Poindexter, who owns the 30,000-acre luxury ranch.
When Poindexter tried to awaken Scalia about 8:30 the next morning, the judge’s door was locked and he did not answer. Three hours later, Poindexter returned after an outing, with a friend of Scalia who had come from Washington with him.
“We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled,” said Poindexter.
“He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,” he said.
Scalia,79, did not have a pulse and his body was cold, and after consulting with a doctor at a hospital in Alpine, Poindexter concluded resuscitation would have been futile, He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend.
“Ultimately they became available and handled it t superbly. They flew in by helicopter. They told me to secure the ranch, which I did until this morning,” he said.
Scalia was just the latest newsworthy guest to visit the celebrity hideaway that covers 30,000 acres near the Chinati Mountains. Mick Jagger, Julia Roberts and Tommy Lee Jones have also partaken of its scenic vistas and luxury accomodations.
Established in 1857 by Milton Faver, known as the first Texas cattle baron west of the Pecos, the ranch retains 19th Century constructions, including “El Fortin de Cibolo,” a primitive fort designed to protect settlers from Apaches.

In a special guest package offered last month, rooms went for $545 to $565 a night for two people, with a meal package and ranch tour included. Other activities include hiking, horseback riding, bird-watching and ATV tours.
Scalia, who was scheduled to return to Washington on Sunday, had little time to avail himself of the ranch’s offerings. Poindexter said he had only met Scalia once before briefly, in Washington. Scalia came to the ranch because he was friends another guest.
Poindexter said he knew the other guests.
“All the guests were friends of mine, I paid for all of them. There were no politics, no jurisprudence in the slightest,” he said.
“This was strictly a group of friends that the judge decided to join. He was coming with his son who had to drop out for reasons I don’t’ know.
“It was an honor to have him. He was widely admired. There were no speeches. He wasn’t asked any hard questions, it was all about the outdoors and Texas, and what it’s like to being a Supreme Court Justice,” he said.

Scalia’s personal financial disclosures show no previous trips to the ranch. The disclosures, posted on OpenSecret.Org show that the justice made several trips to Texas since 2005 to speak at colleges and universities, including St. Mary’s University in 2008.
Poindexter, 71, said Scalia’s sudden death was both a “personal tragedy” for those at the ranch, and for the nation.
“All of us here saw him as a stalwart defender of our way of life in Texas, in a real sense,” he said.
“It’s a great loss. Having made that statement, if it was his time to go, he was surrounded by friends, in fairly nice setting, with a full tummy too. He said he was very happy to be invited so it could have been in worse circumstances,” he said.
“It’s caused all of us here to stop and think about life, how precious it is, and how it is so unexpectedly lost,” he added.
The body of the Supreme Court justice was moved to an El Paso funeral home early Sunday.
The body was driven from Marfa and arrived around 2:30 a.m. at Sunset Funeral Homes, according to spokesman Chris Lujan.
Lujan said the funeral home was chosen by family of the justice, and at the advice of a family friend.
The El Paso County medical examiner’s office said they hadn’t received any infomration regarding the possibility of performing an autopsy.

I want to know HOW they determined he died of a heart attack when NO autopsy has been preformed….IS that not what an autopsy is for?…to determine HOW someone died>

AMERICA has a feeling of foreboding!

Found dead with a pillow over his head? Sounds like murder to me.

Poindexter said”Everything was in perfect order. He was lying peacefully in his bed
in his pajamas.”
Why the change in story?

2013, Ms. Loretta Fuddy (the head of Hawaii Health, which hand-delivered the forged BC into the White House in 2011) suddenly died floating with other survived passengers of a water landed plane – and then no autopsy and urgent cremation. Sounds familiar?

Watch out Trump. These people stop at nothing.
February 15th, 2016 @ 5:30 am
But what good will an autopsy do if it is performed by the Regime? Trump should send his own people to do it. He needs to speak out on this.
February 15th, 2016 @ 6:30 am
An autopsy would probably reveal nothing as the CIA and others have ways of killing that mimic heart attacks.
February 15th, 2016 @ 11:09 am
I knew it was murder.
February 15th, 2016 @ 11:39 am
John Poindexter… THE John Poindexter??
If it is, it’s bad news.
I saw the pic of Obama and Poindexter shaking hands. And Poindexter was wearing civilian dress ribbons from his military service… ostensibly Vietnam among it.
If this is General John Poindexter the story needs a new diretion. General John Poindexter was CIA all the way. He is part of the crew… along with Ollie North… responsible for processing Vietnamese/Laotian opium during the ’60s and early ’70s into heroin that was sold back here in the United States. Those bums helped kill US!
So if this Poindexter is CIA, then a can of worms is now open that could pour out all over Obama.
February 15th, 2016 @ 12:35 pm
Lord, help us all!
Guard, Donald Trump well.
Watch out Trump!
Monster Obama is on the prowl!
No joke, Danno!!!
February 15th, 2016 @ 1:40 pm
Hmmm…
Why would they leave the pillow over his head?
This suggest strong evidence of murder!
This is just too obvious, to be right?!
February 15th, 2016 @ 5:51 pm
Yeah Davey… interesting
How do you commit murder, leaving things to look like murder, and hope it will be found to be natural causes?
Maybe it was botched. Maybe Scalia put up a struggle and the perp got scared, thinking that someone was alerted to the struggle… and the guy ran just as Scalia was expiring.
February 15th, 2016 @ 9:11 pm
no, they intentionally left a message, possibly for the other judges: do as we say or else
February 15th, 2016 @ 10:35 pm
Yes Orly… that’s the explanation that makes the most sense. It’s what I read on another site: “Luca Brazi swims with the fishes.”
And then returning to John Poindexter, if he’s The General John Poindexter in cahoots with the CIA during Vietnam and probably afterward…
So who invited and made sure Scalia would be there at the ranch?
Did anyone advise Scalia that he didn’t need protection from US marshals while there?
Who knew he wouldn’t be having Marshals protecting him?
Was it actually Scalia who denied himself protection… or were the Marshals told not to protect by someone else?
Why would Scalia turn down his protection?
Who were the Marshals who were informed by either Scalia or his associates to not protect?
How was the request made?
