The medical examiner has ruled Wyatt's manner of death as: UNDETERMINED.

The manner of death is a classification on a death certificate based on circumstances surrounding a fatal incident, identifying how the cause of death occurred. The five commonly recognized types are natural, accident, suicide, homicide, and undetermined.

• Natural: Death solely caused by internal factors, such as disease, illness, or the aging process (e.g., heart attack, cancer).
• Accident: An unintended, fatal injury or poisoning, such as motor vehicle accidents, falls, or drug overdoses.
• Suicide: A death intentionally self-inflicted, resulting from an action taken with the knowledge that it could cause death.
• Homicide: The death of an individual at the hands of another person, or a volitional act by another person, regardless of intent (includes murder, manslaughter, or legal intervention).
• Undetermined: Used when evidence is insufficient to classify the death into another category, or when information points equally to multiple manners.

This is still an OPEN investigation.
