Peter Scalia. Actor. Peter Scalia is an actor, known for Midnight Cowboy (1969).
An autopsy is only called for when someone dies under suspicious circumstances. Justice Scalia was a 79 year old Italian-American who had just spent a day in fairly active physical activity. For him to have died of a heart attack is really not at all that surprising. That, combined with a complete lack of evidence to suggest foul play, leaves no particular reason for a coroner's inquest.
