Laundrie’s skeletal remains found in a Florida nature preserve were positively identified last month using dental records.
Laundrie had been the subject of a manhunt for more than a month as investigators searched for clues in the slaying of his girlfriend, Gabby Petito, during their cross-country van trip together.
"Chris and Roberta Laundrie have been informed the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and the manner of death was suicide," Bertolino said in a statement. "Chris and Roberta are still mourning the loss of their son and are hopeful that these findings bring closure to both families."
