Detectives on the scene reportedly initially told Blair's wife there was a gunshot wound to his head, but the local prosecutor's office eventually ruled his death an accidental fall.
Mexican authorities told ABC News their additional search for evidence revealed no signs of a dispute or struggle. They also said there was a substantial amount of alcohol in Blair's body."It doesn't make sense to Kim that they're saying his blood alcohol level was so high because he wasn't drunk," said Barnett."Before they could do that, the DA ordered the body to be embalmed and it had been," said Barnett.
As of Thursday evening, Blair's body remains in Mexico. Officials said it'll be about another week before his remains return to the U.S. Baja California Attorney General Ricardo Ivan Carpio Sanchez said his office is cooperating with the Department of Justice and the FBI on the investigation.
