Elliot Blair's family disputes the Mexican authorities' labeling his death in Rosarito as an 'unfortunate accident' and will conduct their own investigation.

But Blair’s family argues the incident occurred in an open-air walkway outside his room’s front door. He was found wearing his underwear, his sleeping T-shirt and socks, according to a family statement. Blair and Williams vacationed at the Rosarito resort multiple times over the last five years and stayed in the third-floor room, the family said.Mexican authorities also told the Register that they are in contact with the U.S.

“Elliot was a brilliant attorney with a bright future,” the family said. “Elliot’s smile was radiant and warmed the hearts of every person he came in contact with. Elliot had an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Elliot was a loving husband, son and brother. Elliot’s tragic, untimely, and suspicious death has left his family and community with a huge hole in their hearts that will never be repaired.

Blair’s family said that Mexican authorities have suggested that Blair’s body be cremated. A funeral home liaison also made the same suggestion, but Blair’s family insists that his body be preserved so it can conduct a thorough, independent investigation.
