Tammy Daybell's autopsy results are back

ST. ANTHONY — The autopsy for Tammy Daybell is finished and has been turned over to the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators received the autopsy report from the Utah Medical Examiner Wednesday, according to a news release from Sheriff Len Humphries.

“The contents of this report will not be made public at this time as it is evidence in an open and ongoing investigation,” Humphries says. “We will release additional information as it becomes available.”

Fremont County Sheriff deputies were called to Tammy and Chad Daybell’s Salem home on Oct. 19, 2019. Chad said Tammy went to bed coughing and he discovered she had died in her sleep. The 49-year-old mother of five had been in good health and was training for a race.

Tammy had visited with her siblings and parents two weeks earlier in Springville, Utah, and showed no sign of sickness.

Within weeks of her death, Chad married Lori Vallow Daybell, and a massive investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies was launched into her death, along with the death of Lori’s former husband, Charles Vallow, and her two missing children, Joshua “JJ” Vallow and Tylee Ryan.

Tammy’s body was exhumed in December and the Idaho Attorney General’s Office is investigating Chad and Lori for conspiracy, attempted murder and murder in connection to Tammy’s death.

Tammy was the librarian at Central Elementary School in Sugar City and had also worked at Madison Middle School. Family and friends said she loved reading and serving others.

Tammy’s siblings and parents announced the creation of the Tammy Douglas Daybell Foundation in October “to honor her legacy of service and love of literacy.”

“Tammy’s true focus throughout her life was her family, from serving a delicious dinner each Sunday to remembering every birthday and holiday with gifts,” her obituary reads. “She also loved all sorts of animals, but she especially loved Indian runner ducks. She also raised pigeons, chickens, cats and rabbits, knowing each one by name. She loved gardening, cooking and playing games with the family. Her laugh will be remembered and cherished.”

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Tammy was the one to bring them down

The take home lesson here is that Idaho needs to change their law that a spouse can deny an autopsy. What a great way to let a spouse murder their spouse and hide evidence. Idaho, it's 2021 please get with the times.

Thank you for reporting the facts without dramatizing. I really appreciate your straight forward reporting style.

Tammy was such a beautiful woman. I don’t believe she had any idea what her husband was capable of. Praying that justice would be served. May she Rest In Peace.

Thank God she wasn't able to get to all her children, Colby is a very sweet and kind person.

[stacydavis]

Thank you for this! It’s been a long time coming. I can only hope there’s evidence of the foul play that I’m sure took place in her death.

[sicgirl]

If it was natural causes, you would think they would just say so... makes me think they found something pointing to foul play.

[susanpederson]

I hope Chad doesn't get off. He said she would die

[rachaelmccarl]

[Paula-pokx]

Thank you Nate and East Idaho News. I feel the Daybells refusing comments speaks volumes.

[jacksimi]

Can we nominate Nate for some type of award. I live in Canada and love watching all his videos. He's a real gem.

Omg I hope those monsters are held accountable for her OBVIOUS murder. These sick people have killed so many people and with no murder charges currently pending, it’s like they are gonna get away with it. Hopefully the autopsy took so long because they found something. 🤞🏼
