Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14-year-old girl singer D4vd is charged with killing, died from penetrating injuries.
That's according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
Her death was ruled a homicide.
A judge had ordered the report sealed for months at the request of law enforcement after the girl’s dismembered and decomposed body was found.
The 21-year-old alt-pop singer whose legal name is David Burke pleaded not guilty Monday to first-degree murder.
According to the report released Wednesday, she had significant wounds to her torso, likely caused by a sharp object.
Her body had so degraded that examiners couldn’t even determine her eye color.
