Brian Laundrie’s Pinterest may have given clues to how he wanted to die
WEB sleuths claim that Brian Laundrie’s Pinterest account may have revealed hidden clues about how he wanted to die.
Remains found in the Florida wilderness on October 20 were identified as belonging to Gabby Petito’s fiancé through his dental records.
Sleuths appear to have found a tattoo with the letters “DNAR” meaning “Do Not Attempt to Resuscitate” after trawling through Laundrie’s Pinterest account.
A red cross covers a person who is performing chest compressions on a man.
Underneath the artwork reads the caption: “Doctor, I want to die dignifiedly.”
Laundrie’s cause of death remains unknown as a preliminary autopsy came back inconclusive.
His remains have been sent to an anthropologist for further examination.
The inconclusive results have fueled speculation among web sleuths as they try to determine how the fugitive died.

A medium sensationally claimed that she knows how Laundrie died and speculated that his spirit has not crossed over to the afterlife.
The psychic medium told The Sun they were having a difficult time communicating with Laundrie because “he hasn’t crossed over and he probably feels afraid of being reprimanded in some way.”
They added when someone “does something really wrong and they die, they usually don’t want to go to the light because they know they’re going to get punished.”
The medium said: “So he’s clearly not ready. He wasn’t willing to crossover or communicate with me either because he didn’t want to feel remorse.”
Internet sleuths claimed that the fugitive used Gabby Petito’s water bottle to mix a cocktail of drugs before "overdosing".
Hikers discovered a Nalgene water bottle thought to match one that belonged to Gabby – days after cops found bone fragments in the Florida wilderness.
One web sleuth said: “I don’t know why people assume the water bottle is not important. Maybe it contained an overdose of drugs mixed with water as his method of death.”
Another commented: “I think it’s important to Gabby’s case as in: it was her bottle, and Brian took it, why? He knew she wouldn’t need it anymore. He knew she was dead.”
There is no evidence that Laundrie overdosed.
There has been no confirmation that the bottle found belonged to Gabby. And, there is no evidence to support allegations that Laundrie took the vlogger’s water bottle.
A similar-looking bottle can be seen in a YouTube video that Gabby posted in mid-August
'EATEN BY GATORS'
And, internet detectives suggested that Laundrie may have been eaten after “alligator bones” appeared to be unearthed – days after the remains were found.
A , known only as Olivia, claims she found "bones" around 60 yards from where Laundrie’s remains were reportedly unearthed.
She teased “Could be animal" as she uploaded several snaps of the discovery.
One sleuth said: “Definitely gator. They have those long spike extrusions on spoke bones. I feel when the water levels rise, Gators migrated to him and then went back out father as the water receded.”
Another speculated: “I’m sure those gators roam and don’t just stay in the water.”
Alligators kill their prey by clamping their jaws before dragging them underwater.
Tom Joyce, a retired NYPD commander, exclusively told The Sun that the remains had likely suffered "a lot of post mortem predation."
He said: “If the remains are skeletal, that means the tissue has been pulled away from the bones. Most likely by alligators, crabs, fish, and stuff like that. That's what it sounds like to me because it's definitely not long enough time for it to go naturally.”
Sheriff Kurt Hoffman, of Sarasota County, speculated that Laundrie "probably committed" suicide before cops located his remains.
He revealed that the remains had been bogged up by up to "four feet of water" for several weeks before they were discovered, according to the
Attorney Steven Bertolino, who has represented the Laundrie family throughout, says autopsy results could be returned in two to three weeks.
He told The Sun that he doesn't know who has the remains.

The lawyer said: "I was told one to two weeks for the updated report on the cause of death and that was a week ago so I suspect another week or so."
The investigations into Laundrie and Gabby's deaths are active and ongoing.
