Gabby Petito ’cause of death’ – Autopsy on remains found scheduled as coroner’s van leaves Wyoming search site
AN AUTOPSY is scheduled for later this week after a body was found in the search for missing Gabby Petito.
The Teton County Coroner's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that the autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, September 21.
The coroner's van was seen leaving the national park after FBI and National Park Service officials held a press conference regarding the remains.
Teton County Coroner Brent Blue was on the scene at the park.
That came after officials said they believe they have found the body of the 22-year-old YouTuber.
INFORMATION STILL SOUGHT
In their statement, FBI officials said, "Full forensic identification has not been completed and we do not yet know the cause of death."
The FBI is still investigating Gabby Petito's disappearance and accepting information from the public.
"We continue to seek information from anyone who utilized the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area between the dates of August 27-30, 2021 and who may have had contact with Gabby or her boyfriend, or who may have seen their vehicle," said the agency in a statement.
