Ranch owner clarifies how he found Scalia's body
Trump is pushing the conspiracy theory:
The ranch owner speaks out:For the second time this week, Donald Trump expressed skepticism about how Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, alluding to conspiracy theories suggesting he was the victim of foul play.
"They say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow," Trump said Tuesday during an interview on Michael Savage's radio show "The Savage Nation."
The ranch owner, John Poindexter, tried to clarify his comments, telling "CBS This Morning" that Scalia "had a pillow over his head, not over his face as some have been saying. The pillow was against the headboard."
Judge Cinderela Guevara said investigators found no signs of foul play or struggle. She added Scalia's personal physician believed "the death was due to natural causes."
William Ritchie, the former homicide commander of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department, said an autopsy would put all these questions to rest.
"If you're called to the scene to investigate a death, you will assume that death is a homicide until your investigation proves otherwise," Ritchie said. "If the death scene was handled in an appropriate manner, we wouldn't be having this discussion."
