Here is a link to Washington article discussing sleep apnea and the late Supreme Court Justice, Antonio Scalia.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to- ... 2d259f01b5

Notice that there are 407 Comments on that Washington post and variousations feedbacks is of interest. For example, here is one quote from one poster with a nickname of panhead1. He or she shared the following comments:
I use a CPAP, and I feel like hell if I drop off to sleep without having my machine and mask connected. If Scalia had some wine, it may have seemed too much trouble to fumble with finding a wall socket, but not using the CPAP? I can see that easily could have caused or cascaded a serious medical crisis in someone his age. Consuming alcohol can cause the apnea to be much worse. If you have heard an imbiber's snore, you get what I mean."
Do you think alcohol might have factored into the cause of Supreme Court Justice Scalia? I really doubt.

At 79 years of age, and with existing cardiac problems, "natural causes" sticks out a bit.
