The family of a 33-year-old Southern California attorney is seeking answers about his sudden death earlier this month while celebrating his wedding anniversary in Mexico.
Elliot Blair died on Jan. 14 at a resort in Rosarito, Baja California, while on vacation with his wife, Kimberly Williams. Both worked as public defenders in Orange County, and his unexpected death was widely mourned in the local legal community.
Adding to his friends’ and colleagues’ shock was that a GoFundMe organized on his wife’s behalf described his death as a “brutal crime.” On Wednesday, an attorney representing the family told BuzzFeed News that Mexican officials at the scene told Williams that her husband had a gunshot wound to the head. Other officials then contradicted that account, describing his death as the result of a fall, and now the family is working to bring Blair’s body to the US for an independent autopsy.

From Analyze That:
Jelly : Anyway, two of the witnesses decided not to testify, uh, and the third guy, well, he commited suicide.
Dr. Ben Sobel : Oh? How?
Jelly : He stabbed himself in the back four times and threw himself off a bridge... very unfortunate.

But FR has experts on everything. What’s the scoop on Mexico? Is it dangerous?

I live in San Diego county.
Back in the 1990”s I used to go to Tijuana every few months, on a Sunday, with a group of 20-30 people. I always made sure I was back on this side of the border by dark.
I haven’t even considered going back for the last 20 years.
