Christina Grimmie's autopsy report has revealed that the singer died from "gunshot wounds of head and chest" after she was gunned down by a deranged fan following a concert performance in Orlando last month.
The report concluded that the 22-year-old singer's death was a homicide. The report also reaffirmed that Grimmie's brother, Marcus, who was present at the time of the shooting, was the one to identify her body, reported E! online.
"In consideration of the circumstances surrounding the death, and after examination of the body, toxicology analysis, and review of the available medical records it is my opinion that the death of Christina Grimmie, a 22-year-old white female witnessed to have been shot by another and subsequently transported to the hospital, is the result of a gunshot wounds of the head and chest. The manner of death is homicide."
Christina's brother Marcus tacked gunman Kevin James Loibl and was praised for preventing further injury or loss of life.
Earlier this month, her parents Tina and Bud and brother Marcus paid tribute to her "joyful heart and beautiful voice".
The family went on to thank those who had recognised the former "Voice" contestant with donations and various other tributes, and confirmed they are discussing plans to "honour" her in future.
