Because early stories mentioned around 1pm and later it changed to 8:30am.
then there's this from the LA Times

"Scalia had gone to his room Friday night and was found dead Saturday after he did not appear for breakfast, the Marshals Service said.

At about 2:45 p.m. Saturday, people at the ranch summoned a Catholic priest from Presidio, 30 miles away, to administer last rites to the justice, who was a Catholic. “It appeared as though he had passed away in his sleep," said Elizabeth O'Hara, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of El Paso."

If he was found at 8:30am why did it take 6 1/2 hours to contact ANYONE about his death?

Not at all. But it's a bit of a stereotyped meme that seniors aren't still in love with each other JudyM Feb 2016 #48
