Preliminary reports revealed his skull had been crushed, likely by a heavy stone, which led to his death. A post mortem examination conducted on April 6, 2023 confirmed these findings.

Bulgin, who was seen on video using a rock to inflict wounds to Lettman’s head, was named a person of interest in the case. He was later taken in for questioning and subsequently charged.
