HOLBROOK, NY - SEPTEMBER 26: A sign for Gabby Petito is seen outside of a funeral home on September 26, 2021 in Holbrook, New York. As the search continues into a second week in Florida to find Brian Laundrie, who is a person of interest, the family of Gabby Petito holds a public funeral in her hometown of Long Island.
The Teton County coroner Brent Blue released the final autopsy report of Gabby Petito during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, per The Washington Post.
It was reported that the cause of death was by strangulation and the manner was homicide. It was also confirmed that Petito was not pregnant.
