Sorry for your loss and generally a local morgue owner can assist also in making arrangements to get the relative back across with proper paperwork.
My wife had an uncle some years back that died in Mexico and that is what they had to do in the final running around in circles and not knowing. Hope
your family travels safely down and back getting your step-dad back. bajafun777

The local morgue is owned and operated by the Mexican government. I assume you mean a mortuary...

Thanks for all the kind words and offers of support. My sister found his birth certificate tonight so that helps tremendously. Manuel called me late
last night to confirm middle name so I knew then that it was him. I am being told he was one and a half hours from Guero Negro. According to brother
in law, police report says he hit a wet spot on the road and lost control. Fatal head trauma and seat belt damaged/crushed chest and death was
immediate. Mom is in Cali and uncle Dave is staying the night in San Quintin. Mortuary says they can cremate there and uncle Dave can bring ashes home
to us. Thanks again for all the love, support and assistance this site is obviously known for.

Mike - I am in San Quintin right now until Friday. I speak fluent Spanish and know a lot of local folks here who are connected when you need to get
something done.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
Our sincerest condolences...

Sorry to hear about it!
That stretch of road is very straight. I know I have driven it at 100mph in my truck. Very white knuckle and very dangerous. Departing the paved
surface at that speed would probably be fatal.

All very sad and unfortunate. People please slow down on Baja 1. Even on those straight aways, there are parts of the road that are super elevated
from the rest of the shoulder.
A blow out is all it takes some times to send you rolling over
the roadside wrong side up. Been there done that, and lived
to tell about it. My thanks to everyone on this board for offering their support when someone is in need.
My heart felt sympathies on your sudden loss.

Are you nuts ! Driving 100 miles an hour is suicidal .

Good God, Fishbuck------------I am an ex-cop and I have NEVER driven 100 mph ANYWHERE, even when in a "chase".
You must have a real death-wish!!! I shutter for the other people that are near you while you drive. I am flabbergasted!!!!

Why not start a high speeds in Baja Thread? In respect for the original poster this isn't the place for it, don't you think?

Your probably right, Ken, but the subject is very closely related, it seems to me.
Of course I feel very badly for the victims family and friends-----that goes without saying, and I am sure they know that.
Losing a family member is indescrible, and we have all gone thru it----------horrible, and so sad.

All the comments are appreciated. There is a place in Ensanada that is going down to San Quintin and bringing the body to Ensanada for cremation. My
mom and sisters and other friends/family are heading down to be in Ensanada at 11am for the cremation tomorrow. As for the speed he was travelling. He
was 60 and not a speeder. He has made the run from Garden Grove to Guero Negro in one day before and stopped at Mama's for the night if he was tired.
I'll never know if he was speeding or fell asleep. I take comfort in believing it was immediate and no suffering. If it was simply a result of a water
spot, just be careful to all.
Mike
