Senior Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead on Saturday in a luxury resort in West Texas, authorities say.
Scalia, 79, died of apparent natural causes while he stayed at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in the Big Bend region south of Marfa.
The Supreme Court Justice arrived at the ranch on Friday, where he then attended a private party with approximately 40 other people.

When he did not show up for breakfast in the morning, a person associated with the ranch found his body in his room.
The US Marshal Service, the Presidio County sheriff and the FBI are investigating Scalia's death.
There was no evidence of foul play, a federal official who requested not to be named, told My San Antonio.
US District Judge Fred Biery said he was notified of Scalia's death on Saturday morning.
'I was told it was this morning,' Biery told My San Antonio 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.
'My reaction is it's very unfortunate. It's unfortunate with any death, and politically in the presidential cycle we're in, my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected.'

Scalia was nominated to the US Supreme Court in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan and is the longest-serving justice on the Court.
Texas Gov Greg Abbott called Scalia an 'unwavering defender of the written Constitution' in a statement about the Justice's death.
'He was the solid rock who turned away so many attempts to depart from and distort the Constitution,' Abbott said. 'We mourn his passing, and we pray that his successor on the Supreme Court will take his place as a champion for the written Constitution and the Rule of Law.
'Cecilia and I extend our deepest condolences to his family, and we will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.'
