The family of Orange County, California, lawyer Elliot Blair has disputed reports from Mexican authorities that he was shooing away noisy pigeons outside his Rosarito Beach hotel room just before he died in a fall early Saturday.
Baja California Attorney General Ricardo Ivan Carpio Sanchez called Blair’s fall from an open-air hallway at Las Rocas Resort and Spa “a terrible case.” He said Blair’s wife, Kimberly Williams, told authorities that Blair was drawn outside their third-floor room by the noisy pigeons.
Blair’s family immediately blasted the report, insisting he was killed in a brutal crime when he went outside in a T-shirt, underwear and socks.
