The medical examiner has released more details on the woman found dead in a Tesla registered to the singer D4vd.

HOLLYWOOD, CA — The body of a woman found inside an impounded car registered to the singer D4vd was so severely decomposed authorities were unable to determine her age or ethnicity, but did release on Wednesday some information they hope will be able to identify her.

The body was found inside the front trunk of a Tesla at around noon Monday at a tow yard on North Mansfield Avenue, just south of Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The vehicle — registered in Texas to the singer D4vd — had been impounded and towed to the yard, "an official police garage," on Friday, police said.

The county Medical Examiner's Office has not yet identified the body, but released the following information on Wednesday:

"She appears to have been deceased inside the vehicle for an extended period of time before being found. We are unable to determine her age or race/ethnicity," officials wrote.

The woman is described as 5-foot-2 and 71 lbs with wavy black hair. She has a tattoo on her right index finger that reads "Shhh..."

She was wearing a tube top, black leggings (size small), a yellow metal stud earring and yellow metal chain bracelet.

The discovery of the woman's body in Hollywood came as another body was found inside a car that had been impounded and sent to an official police garage across town.

That woman's body was found Tuesday after family members filed a missing persons report. Authorities said they do not believe the two cases are connected, the LA Times reported.
