尸检显示布赖恩·劳德里自杀身亡，律师说

(CNN)Brian Laundrie died by suicide from a gunshot wound to the head, an attorney for the Laundrie family told CNN Tuesday.

"Chris and Roberta Laundrie have been informed that the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and the manner of death was suicide," said attorney Steven Bertolino.

CNN has reached out to authorities for further comment, and has followed up with Bertolino regarding how Laundrie came to be in possession of a gun.

Laundrie's remains were found in a Florida nature reserve last month after a weekslong manhunt. He disappeared just days after his fiancée Gabby Petito was reported missing.

The couple had been traveling across the country over the summer in a converted van and documenting their travels on social media. The case gained national attention as authorities searched for both.

Laundrie returned to his parents' house in Florida on September 1 without Petito. As police were trying to question the family about Petito's whereabouts, Laundrie went missing on September 13 or 14 after leaving home with a backpack, according to his parents.

Petito's remains were found in Wyoming on September 19. Her death was ruled a homicide by manual strangulation.

Petito's family says they are "aware of the circumstances" regarding Laundrie. But they are not making an official comment at the request of the US Attorney's Office and the Teton County Prosecutor's Office in Wyoming, according to a statement from the family.

The family was asked not to make any comments while the investigation into her death is ongoing, the statement said.

A Florida medical examiner's office confirmed Tuesday Laundrie had died of suicide by a gunshot wound to the head.

The office won't make the autopsy report public "until the law enforcement investigation is complete," the office said in a release.

A timeline of the Petito case

What led to Petito's death remains a mystery. The FBI had described Laundrie as a "person of interest" in her murder, but he was not charged. He had, though, been indicted for allegedly using two accounts that belonged to someone else in the days after she died.

Laundrie's remains were found October 20 in an area of Carlton Reserve that had been underwater during previous searches of the 25,000-acre nature reserve in North Port.

Laundrie's father, who was searching with authorities the day his son's remains were found, discovered a notebook near where Laundrie's body was found. Experts said at the time the notebook could be key in providing answers.

The notebook was wet at the time, and officials haven't yet said whether they have gained any information from it.

Bertolini said in October Laundrie's parents had discussed "several times" the possibility their son had died by suicide.

尸检显示布赖恩·劳德里自杀身亡，律师说

(CNN) 布赖恩·劳德里 (Brian Laundrie) 的一名律师周二告诉 CNN，布赖恩·劳德里 (Brian Laundrie) 因头部中枪而自杀身亡。

“Chris 和 Roberta Laundrie 被告知，死因是头部中枪，死亡方式是自杀，”律师史蒂文·贝托利诺 (Steven Bertolino) 说。

CNN 已联系当局寻求进一步评论，并就 Laundrie 如何拥有枪支的问题与 Bertolino 进行了跟进。

经过长达数周的追捕，Laundrie 的遗体上个月在佛罗里达州的一个自然保护区被发现。在他的未婚妻 Gabby Petito 失踪几天后，他就失踪了。

整个夏天，这对夫妇一直乘坐改装的面包车在全国各地旅行，并在社交媒体上记录了他们的旅行。随着当局对两者进行搜查，此案引起了全国关注。

9 月 1 日，Laundrie 在没有佩蒂托的情况下回到了他在佛罗里达州的父母家。据他的父母说，当警方试图向家人询问佩蒂托的下落时，劳德里于 9 月 13 日或 14 日带着背包离开家后失踪。

佩蒂托的遗体于 9 月 19 日在怀俄明州被发现。她的死被裁定为手工勒死凶杀案。

佩蒂托的家人说，他们“了解Laundrie的情况”。但根据其家人的一份声明，他们并未应美国检察官办公室和怀俄明州提顿县检察官办公室的要求发表官方评论。

声明说，在对她的死因进行调查期间，她的家人被要求不要发表任何评论。

佛罗里达州法医办公室周二证实，Laundrie 死于头部枪伤。

该办公室在一份新闻稿中表示，“在执法调查完成之前”，该办公室不会公开尸检报告。

佩蒂托案的时间表

是什么导致了Petito的死亡仍然是一个谜。联邦调查局曾将laundry描述为谋杀的“嫌疑人”，但他没有受到指控。不过，他被指控在她死后的几天内使用了两个属于别人的账户。

Laundrie的遗体于 10 月 20 日在卡尔顿保护区的一个区域被发现，该区域在之前对北港 25,000 英亩的自然保护区进行搜索时一直处于水下。

Laundrie 的父亲在他儿子的遗体被发现的那天正在与当局一起搜查，他在 Laundrie 尸体被发现的地方附近发现了一个笔记本。专家当时表示，笔记本可能是提供答案的关键。

当时笔记本是湿的，官方还没有说他们是否从中获得了任何信息。

Bertolini 在 10 月份表示，Laundrie 的父母曾“多次”讨论过他们儿子自杀的可能性。
