The body of Orange County, California, deputy public defender Elliot Blair, who died mysteriously Jan. 14 in Mexico, crossed the border from Baja California to the United States on Monday afternoon.
A lawyer for Blair’s family said his remains were being transported to Westminster Memorial Park and Mortuary in Orange County.
The family plans to have a private autopsy conducted Wednesday in Los Angeles, hoping to disprove the conclusion of Mexican authorities that Blair, 33, died in an accidental fall from a third-story walkway at Las Rocas Resort and Spa in Rosarito Beach.
