The report continues to detail the condition Grimmie's body was in after the fatal attack, as well as physical observations, and also includes descriptions of each gun shot wound alongside illustrations to show where Grimmie was hit on her body.

In early June, Grimme was participating in a meet-and-greet with fans after a show in Orlando when she was shot by a male suspect who proceeded to shoot himself. The YouTube star was taken to a local hospital before being pronounced dead.

The former Voice contestant was laid to rest last month and a viewing was held in her honor at the Fellowship Alliance Chapel near her hometown in New Jersey. During a memorial service, her cousins, aunt and best friends stood up and shared stories about Grimmie growing up.

Her brother took the stage to thank everyone for attending and to comfort his parents during the unspeakably difficult time.

"I don't have anything to say, I don't have words still and it's a good and bad thing. All I'm going to say is thank God for the mark that she left on this world. Thanks mom and dad I know it's going to be really tough for us to move forward."

He continued, "All the rumors are true that when the gunman came…her arms were open. That's how she treated everyone she knew, her arms were open for them. So thanks again for coming out you guys, and I love you Christina."
