The death certificate for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will list myocardial infarction — a heart attack — as the official cause of death, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told WFAA on Sunday.
Scalia was pronounced dead shortly before 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. His death was confirmed by news outlets about three hours later. There was no sign of foul play.
