By ASHLEIGH GRAY
The dismembered remains found in singer D4vd's Tesla have been identified.
A decomposing body was found inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to the 20-year-old pop star last week.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department made the grim discovery after receiving reports of a foul odor coming from the vehicle.
Now, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner say the victim has been identified, according to TMZ.
On Tuesday, ABC 7 Los Angeles confirmed the body found belonged to a teenage girl between '14 and 15 years old.'
The legal next of kin has yet to be notified, meaning authorities are unable to publicly release the name of the deceased.

According to TMZ, she was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, a metal stud earring and a metal bracelet in the shape of the letter W.
Police later informed D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, that his Tesla was in an impound lot amid gruesome circumstances.
'D4vd has been informed about what's happened,' a spokesperson for the singer told NBC Los Angeles at the time. 'And although he is still on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities.'
It's unclear whether the singer, known for hits like Here with Me and Romantic Homicide, had loaned his Tesla to someone or if it had been stolen.
Police said the automobile had been at the impound lot for a few days, and the body placed in a bag inside the front trunk of the car.
Footage captured by ABC 7 showed police surrounding the car before it was eventually towed away.
It had Texas plates and had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills prior to landing in the impound lot.
