 District Attorney Craig Watkins, had strongly objected Davis' appointment on the grounds that ''the court did not have the authority to hire an outside attorney.'' In turn, the court accused Watkins of 'sandbagging' the investigation. Former FBI agent Danny DeFenbaugh is leading the investigation.
According to Peggy Lundy, senior adviser to County Judge Jim Foster, Davis' passing ''was a punch in the belly.'' The County office released a statement confirming Davis’ death. According to Lundy, Davis fell ill last week and slipped into coma.
County Judge Jim Foster commented that Davis' death was ''a very tragic situation and that ''there is no one, that I'm aware of, that was more greatly admired for their legal mind than Sid Davis. He was just, I would say, at the top of the top.''
Dallas County health officials had previously announced the passing of a 54 year old person due to the H1N1 flu but had withheld the patient's name because of patient confidentiality.
