Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead of apparent natural causes Saturday on a luxury resort in West Texas, federal officials said.
Scalia, 79, was a guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of Marfa.
According to a report, Scalia arrived at the ranch on Friday and attended a private party with about 40 people. When he did not appear for breakfast, a person associated with the ranch went to his room and found a body.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery said he was among those notified about Scalia's death.
"I was told it was this morning," Biery said of Scalia's death. "It happened on a ranch out near Marfa. As far as the details, I think it's pretty vague right now as to how," he said. "My reaction is it's really unfortunate with any death. And now, politically, in the presidential cycle we're in my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected."
The U.S. Marshal Service, the Presidio County sheriff and the FBI were involved in the investigation.
Officials with the law enforcement agencies declined to comment.
A federal official who asked not to be named said there was no evidence of foul play and it appeared that Scalia died of natural causes.
Scalia was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan.

I disliked Scalia greatly. Not at all moved to condolence by this news when I read it at lunch this afternoon.

No death is worth celebrating, but they're not all worth mourning either.

I don't like the idea of celebrating anybody's death but this definitely has heavy implications on the election if true. Originally Posted by Wells

Oh, that means Obama will need to appoint another Justice before leaving. Interesting, I wonder who it could be.

I'm not an American but I am familiar with Justice Scalia and his attitudes.
I feel sorry for his family that he has died. Every Human death, with very few exceptions, is a tragedy and should be mourned.
Attention will now turn to his successor in the Supreme Court. Obama will want to move to replace Scalia but dare he go for a liberal justice that the Republicans will block or someone a lot less right wing that Scalia but not as left wing as some of his other choices?

Surprising. He wasn't stepping down because of health or anything. Seems pretty unexpected. he was out quail hunting that day, so not even infirm or anything. Just up and died.
