Gabby Petito's cause of death was strangulation, coroner says
CNN ^ | 10/12/12

Posted on 10/12/2021 11:54:11 AM PDT by conservative98

Gabby Petito's cause of death was strangulation, and the manner of death was homicide, Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue just announced at a news conference.

Officials previously announced her death was a homicide in preliminary findings.

The coroner said that the body had been in the wilderness for three to four weeks before it had been discovered.

Blue explained that it took a month to reach a final autopsy because officials were very "exacting" in their examination of the details.

He noted that they were also waiting for other specialists to arrive to help with this investigation and for toxicology to be returned.

"It was just a matter of making sure we had everything right," he told reporters. The news conference is ongoing.

Just read an update on this report. The coroner is 'lamenting' (whining and crying) the intense scrutiny of this case (it ain't fair). The only thing he left out was that it was because it was a white, blonde haired female.

Some cases just make headlines. Deal with it. The circumstances and events sort of dictated the publicity. i.e. missing girl; boyfriend shows up alone in her van etc. etc. But he just had to weigh in because that's what we do in America now. Everyone is entitled to their 15 minutes of fame and the media are more than happy to oblige.

A brutal power play by a psychotic bastard.

Not just the media. He was tried, convicted and sentenced right here.

Coroner Dr. Brent Blue described an ongoing ....”media circus” around the Gabby Petito case .....and lamented the fact that most homicide victims who experience domestic violence in the US receive far less media attention.

Oh yeah. Gabby. That was a couple of weeks ago. Completely off the radar now.

News cycle does move fast. It took a few seconds for the name to register with me. Gabby who?

Unless they got into another fight.....he left...and someone else took her life? Still speculation at this point. Need to wait and see.

The coroner mentioning domestic violence is not professional as he’s assumed her boyfriend did this....so he’s biased already.

Unfortunately the system seems to always believe men are the only violent ones even when we know full well there’s some really bad nutcase women who not only hit but put away men....and their own children.

After finding her, he cleaned out their campsite and left her laying there dead? You believe that? Rather callous, don't you think?

I’m not convinced that’s how it went down.

Maybe he knows something that you don't, like DNA under her nails.

What normal person breaks camp and flees drives home in the victim's van without reporting a homicide of a "loved" one?

Had to make an important correction.

Well you’ve made my point......people don’t know. There’s way too much unknown to be calling this case.

NOT 4 weeks. Seen alive Aug 27, found dead Sept 19. 23 days or less.

What aren't you convinced about?
Her stepfather was taken to the site. It was a campsite where it was obvious a tent had been and there was a fire ring. She was found in front of where the tent had been, by a fire ring. It was a 10 minute walk from where her van was on video taken by other campers.

Easy answer......who did it. At least the cause of death has been revealed. I expect they have more than they’re reporting yet to be revealed in every aspect of this case.

“I’m not convinced that’s how it went down.”

We’ll be the judge of that.
