A private pathologist's review of Blair's death sought by his family found that the lawyer suffered roughly 40 fractures to his skull, casting doubt on the theory that he died accidentally.
says an official autopsy and a separate family-commissioned investigation challenge the idea that he died accidentally.
A Mexican state autopsy circulated by the family lists Blair's blood alcohol content at .10, which in Baja as well as the U.S. state of California is just above the driving limit of .08. It also mentions"aggravated homicide" as a possible crime in the death, although the document has not been verified by the Baja California state attorney general.
Blair's widow, fellow Orange County public defender Kimberly Williams, told the publications the idea he may have been drunk is inconsistent with his ability to drink and stay sharp."I've never seen him stumble drunk," she said.She has said a detective at the scene of the death Jan. 14 told her Blair's body had evidence of a gunshot wound, Barnett confirmed.
