Confusion and disorder compromised the U.S. Marshals Service’s response to Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, according to new documents obtained by a watchdog group.

Fix the Court, a judicial transparency group, obtained internal records from the USMS revealing local marshals were not notified of the justice’s death for several hours following his passing, and were slow to respond to the remote west Texas hunting ranch where he was found dead.   ...

Local law enforcement was notified. At 12:41 p.m. — almost two hours after Scalia was found deceased — the Presidio County Sheriff reached the local Marshals office.

It’s not clear that the Marshals understood Scalia was dead after their conversation with Presidio law enforcement. Twenty minutes later at 1:00 p.m. the west Texas Marshals office called the agency’s communications center and relayed that “a member of Justice Scalia’s party was dead.” ...  More at Conservative Tribune (https://conservativetribune.com/watchdog-group-obtains-shock-docs-on-what-happened-day-scalia-died/)

And if the cops showed up sooner they could have reanimated Scalia's dead body?
