Gabby Petito autopsy reveals she was not pregnant when she was strangled
GABBY Petito was not pregnant when she was killed, a coroner revealed today.
Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue announced that Gabby died of strangulation on Tuesday, as her fiancé Brian Laundrie remains on the run.
Blue added that despite rumors to the contrary, Gabby was not pregnant at the time of her death.
The 22-year-old vlogger's remains were discovered at a campsite near Grand Teton National Park on September 19.
Blue said Gabby's predicted death was three to four weeks before her body was found.
The body was outside "in the wilderness" for this time, he said.
The young woman's body was returned to the mortuary who are dealing with the family at this time, the doctor added.
Following the results of the autopsy, Brian Laundrie's family attorney, Steve Bertolino, released a statement saying: "Gabby Petito’s death at such a young age is a tragedy.
"While Brian Laundrie is currently charged with the unauthorized use of a debit card belonging to Gabby, Brian is only considered a person of interest in relation to Gabby Petito’s demise.
"At this time Brian is still missing and when he is located we will address the pending fraud charge against him."

Brian and Gabby, who met in New York before moving to Florida two years ago, were around two months into their planned four-month cross-country road trip touring the US’ national parks before Gabby vanished sometime around August 27.
Brian quietly returned home to Florida alone on September 1, failing to alert police or Gabby’s family that she was missing.
He reportedly acted “without a care in the world” upon his return, neighbors said, mowing the front yard and enjoying idyllic bike rides with his mom.
Gabby was eventually reported missing by her mother in New York on September 11. That came after 10 days of allegedly being stonewalled by Brian and his parents about where her daughter was, she said.
Then, on September 14, Brian allegedly vanished after telling his parents he was going hiking at Carlton Reserve.
But they didn’t report Brian missing until three days later.
MANHUNT CONTINUES
A four-week search for Brian has so far yielded no leads beyond speculation and a handful of potential sightings.
Brian is not currently considered a suspect in Gabby's murder but is considered a person of interest.
He does, however, have a warrant out for his arrest on bank fraud allegations after allegedly racking up $1,000 in charges on a debit card that's believed to have belonged to Gabby.
Law enforcement is still searching Carlton Reserve for traces of Laundrie, while TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter is scouring Fort De Soto.
