On November 3, 2021, medical examiners confirmed that Laundrie's cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. The Laundries were also under fire after it was revealed that they initially gave the police the wrong date of their son's disappearance.

Rahmani explained. ...And that's a crime that can carry up to 30 years in prison.
