A Mexican autopsy revealed that Orange County, California, lawyer Elliot Blair suffered injuries suggesting he had possibly been dragged, conflicting with the official conclusion that he died in a drunken fall from a third-story hotel walkway, his family said Thursday.
The official autopsy report and photos, obtained by Blair’s family, showed scrapes or floor burns on his knees that are inconsistent with a simple fall, according to the family’s attorney, Case Barnett. Bruising on Blair’s left forearm could have been defensive wounds, Barnett added.
The official cause of death in Mexico was “traumatic brain injury.”
