CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — The Hamilton County Medical Examiner’s Office released the autopsy report for Jasmine Pace on Wednesday.

In that report, it revealed that she had 60 stab wounds. Those wounds were on her head, neck, upper back and right arm.

Additionally, the coroner’s report stated that authorities found Pace’s body in a fetal position, wrapped in three trash bags and inside a suitcase near Suck Creek Road. This was in December of 2022.

It stated that her right and left ankles were handcuffed to her right arm.

The report shows that Pace had no drugs in her system at the time of her death. She did not have any alcohol in her system either.

Pace was 22 years old at the time of her death.

Authorities charged Jason Chen with the murder of Jasmine Pace in November, and a jury indicted him in March.

Chen’s hearings have been pushed back multiple times.

Recently, his defense attorney argued problems with the case. But the indictment still stood.

According to the Hamilton County Jail’s website, Chen is scheduled to appear in court next on October 4.
