(LOS ANGELES) -- The 14-year-old girl whose dismembered remains authorities say were found decomposing in the singer D4vd's towed Tesla last year died by "multiple penetrating injuries," according to the newly unsealed medical examiner's report.

D4vd -- a 21-year-old Los Angeles resident whose legal name is David Burke -- has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of the teen, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, officials said. The "Romantic Homicide" singer was arrested last week following a monthslong investigation.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner found she had two penetrating wounds of her torso, including injury to her liver, and reported evidence of traumatic injury. There were presumptive positives for benzodiazepines and meth/MDMA in her system, the report stated.

There was severe postmortem change to her body based on how long she had been dead.
