Judge Reveals Details on Scalia’s Health

Had history of heart problems, high blood pressure.

A Texas judge on Monday unveiled new details about Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s heatlh in the days before his death. Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told the AP that Scalia’s doctor told her over the phone that the justice had a history of heart trouble, high blood pressure, and more recently was determined to not be strong enough to have surgery for a shoulder injury. Guevara said she consulted with Scalia’s personal physician on the day he was found dead in his room at a Texas ranch. She also said Scalia appeared to have told some people at the ranch that he wasn’t feeling well, according to her conversations with Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez and a U.S. Marshal.
