SANTA ANA, Calif.—The family of an Orange County deputy public defender who died in Mexico while celebrating his first wedding anniversary was expecting to receive the body Jan. 26 so further forensic examination can be done to confirm a cause of death.
Officials in Mexico have indicated that 33-year-old Elliot Blair died from a fall at the hotel where he was staying with his wife, but his family suspects he was a victim of a violent crime.
