Justice Antonin Scalia's sudden death on Feb. 13, 2016, generated a number of speculations and theories about his death. But only recently, doctors confirm that there was nothing abnormal or suspicious about it.

Said Cinderella Guevara, presiding judge of a county court, who had pronounced him dead, "...the death certificate will say that he died of natural causes with myocardial infarction, better known as a heart attack, being a contributing factor."

A letter by Rear Adm. Brian P. Monahan reads that "significant medical conditions led to his death." Monahan, who also attends to members of the Congress and the Supreme Court, said that Scalia was suffering from "more than half-dozen ailments, including sleep apnea, degenerative joint disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high blood pressure. Scalia also was a smoker," reports the Associated Press.

Presidio County District Attorney Rod Ponton opened the letter to the public.

After he died, Sheriff's reports revealed by The Washington Post show that a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine that Scalia may have used due to his sleep apnea had not been plugged, and Scalia may not have remembered to use it on Feb 13, 2016.
