Autopsy results of a Wyoming and Utah car dealer are consistent with suicide, but those results are not conclusive, according to the director of the state Division of Criminal Investigation.

Kip Crofts confirmed Wednesday that Bill Anselmi, 49, died at his Rock Springs home Tuesday afternoon of a gunshot wound from a small-caliber handgun. He did not know where the bullet entered the body, nor would he provide further details of the autopsy or the DCI investigation.Anselmi owned auto dealerships in Rock Springs and in Tooele, Utah, and formerly had a dealership in Casper.

Crofts did say, however, that results are still pending on some autopsy tests and the investigation conducted jointly by the DCI and Rock Springs Police Department is continuing.

Rock Springs Police Chief Matt Bider, who requested DCI to assist in the investigation, said Anselmi's wife, Virginia, was not at the residence at the time of the shooting.
