California Lawyer Elliot Blair, who died in Mexico, is said to have suffered skull fractures

An attorney for the family of Elliot Blair, the California man who mysteriously died during a romantic getaway to Mexico last month, said autopsy evidence shows that the cause of death was murder.

Blair and his wife, Kimberly Williams — both lawyers in the Orange County public defender’s office — were celebrating their one-year anniversary at a hotel in Rosarito, Mexico, when Blair was found dead on the ground outside the building.

Mexican authorities later said Blair stumbled over a balcony. But his wife has disputed the account, saying she believes he was killed after a run-in with cops who demanded money from them earlier in the night.

Case Barnett, the family’s attorney, said autopsy evidence contradicts the account of Mexican authorities.

“The autopsy confirms that he, Elliot Blair, was murdered that night,” Barnett told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Dr. Rami Hashish, an injury expert who is consulting with the family, told the program that the autopsy showed evidence of skull fractures and that “nothing really points to the fact that it was necessarily an accident.”

Williams was awaiting results from her own independent autopsy. Two independent experts who looked at the existing evidence for “Good Morning America” came to conflicting conclusions about whether it appeared Blair fell or was murdered.

In the weeks since his death, Blair’s family has launched its own investigation.

“I just know it’s not an accident,” Williams said, according to ABC News. “I know he didn’t fall. I just know that.”

Williams told “Good Morning America” that she and Blair went out for dinner the night of Jan. 13 and got pulled over by the local police, who claimed they drove through a stop sign, and then allegedly shook them down for money. When they made it back to the resort, Williams said, she fell asleep while her husband showered.

She was later startled awake by hotel employees pointing at Blair’s body below, she recalled.

The family lawyer said Blair watched an Instagram video at 12:35 a.m., and a 911 call came in at 12:50 a.m. reporting a possible fall, according to ABC News.
