Stepfather of firefighter found dead in Mexico says cops suspected a homicide

The stepfather of the Texas firefighter who was found dead in a window of a Mexican resort while on vacation to celebrate his wedding anniversary said in an interview that police initially suspected a homicide in the mystery case.

Authorities in Cancun said they believe that Elijah Snow, a firefighter in the city of Arlington, died of asphyxiation after he became trapped in the bathroom window of a hotel some 10 miles from where he and his wife, Jamie, were staying. “It’s just so out of character for him to try to get into a room he shouldn’t be in,” Snow’s stepfather David Oujesky told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” in an interview that aired Thursday, according to Fox News.
