TETON COUNTY, Wyo. (NBC) – According to a Petito family lawyer, the body found in a Wyoming national forest is confirmed to be that of Gabby Petito’s.

The autopsy was performed Tuesday by Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue.

In a tweet, Dr. Blue ruled the death a homicide but said the cause of death is pending final results.
