I believe the necropsy has been conducted but due to backlogs following the shutdown the report hasn't been issued yet. I have been told that examination confirmed that the cat was likely struck by a vehicle. Jim Halfpenny, an independent naturalist specializing in forensic tracking, examined the site and says there were tracks indicating at one point the cat was "galloping" so although it was clearly starving, it was still able to move around at some point before it collapsed.

This is what it looked like before being removed from the site.
