According to the ABC News article he died in his sleep at a resort after quail hunting in Marfa, Texas.
Kinda unusual for a Supreme Court Justice from New Jersey to go to a place in the middle of nowhere (200 miles from the nearest city - El Paso) to shoot little birds. Also - - - the resort was owned by a retired Rear Admiral forced to resign over the Reagan era Iran-Contra Affair. Scalia was a Reagan nominee.

The ranch thereafter passed through several owners over the years and finally succumbed to picturesque ruin prior to its purchase in 1990 by John Poindexter, who restored all three of Faver’s adobe forts and built a resort at Cíbolo Creek Ranch.
