Coroner says Gabby Petito’s cause of death was strangulation
CNNCNN — Gabby Petito’s cause of death was ruled to be strangulation and the manner of death was homicide, Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue said on Tuesday. At Tuesday’s news conference, the coroner did not identify Laundrie as a suspect in the case, although he referred to Petito’s case as “only one of many deaths around the country of people who are involved in domestic violence.” Blue told CNN the domestic violence comment was “strictly an assumption.” Laundrie has not been charged in Petito’s death. Initially, his parents said he left on September 14, but last week, Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino said, “We now believe the day Brian left to hike in the preserve was Monday, September 13.” When he left, he didn’t take his cell phone and wallet with him, and his parents were concerned he might hurt himself, a source close to Laundrie’s family told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. At the time, Laundrie was not wanted in connection with a crime, but North Port Police spokesperson Josh Taylor said Laundrie had an “enormous amount of pressure” on him to provide answers in Petito’s disappearance.
