Overview

- The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred the cause and manner of death pending further testing.
- Law enforcement sources say the teen likely died months earlier and that dismembering and disposing of the body probably involved more than one person.
- No arrests or charges have been announced, and multiple outlets report the singer has not cooperated with detectives.
- Police searched a Hollywood Hills residence tied to the singer and seized evidence, and the Tesla had been abandoned, ticketed, and impounded after exceeding the 72-hour parking limit.
