Horror author Stephen King wades into Gabby Petito murder and says we may NEVER KNOW if Brian Laundrie killed himself
HORROR author Stephen King has weighed in on the Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie case - and said the truth may never be revealed about how Laundrie came to die.
King, who wrote horror classics Misery, It, The Shining and Carrie, said unless Laundrie left a note detailing his final moments, his cause of death may be impossible to find out.
"I suspect Brian Laundrie committed suicide," King on Sunday, "but unless he left a suicide note in the notebook found with his body, the cause of his death may be tough or even impossible to prove."
Social media users have commented on King's analysis, saying the author rarely comments on current mysteries and he himself has a creative mind to blood and gore.
"That's some s--t right there when The Stephen King tweets about #BrianLaundrie," one person.
"I am so super glad that stephen king stepped in on this," another user.
Others referenced King's novels as being possible causes of death for Laundrie.
"Maybe the great beast of karma from Stephen King’s powerful imagination rose from the swamp to deliver if not justice, at least retribution," another .
