UPDATE: The Hamilton County Medical Examiner says that Jasmine Pace was stabbed 60 times, suffering major damage to her right jugular vein.
The autopsy report was released Wednesday.
The report shows Pace was stabbed 60 times in her head, neck, back and arm.
The examiner notes most of the injuries are on her right side, which correlated with Pace being bound in the fetal position.
Pace's body was found in a suitcase on Suck Creek Road on December 1, with her ankles handcuffed and shackled to her right arm.
Toxicology testing revealed a negative drug screen and a blood alcohol screen was also negative.
Jason Chen has his next day in court on October 4th.
