The body of a Los Angeles model was found in her downtown apartment last month stuffed in a refrigerator, with her wrists and ankles tied and mouth gagged, according to the latest autopsy report obtained by the New York Post. 31-year-old Maleesa Mooney was found dead in her luxury apartment on September 12. The LA County Medical Examiner’s Office had ruled her death “homicidal violence” earlier this month, but the grizzly details of how her remains were discovered in her apartment were released on Friday in an autopsy report obtained by The Post. 

According to the outlet, Ms Mooney had been beaten and bound before being stuffed into her own refrigerator. The autopsy also revealed blunt force trauma to parts of her body and her toxicology tests showed traces of cocaine and alcohol in her system. 

“The blunt force traumatic injuries observed at autopsy are generally not considered acutely life-threatening on their own,” the medical examiner wrote in the autopsy report. “However, based on the circumstances of how Ms. Mooney was found, these injuries suggest she was likely involved in a violent physical altercation prior to her death. Given this, the role that drugs and/or alcohol may have played in Ms. Mooney’s death, if any, is uncertain,” the report added. 

No arrests have been made in the case, PEOPLE reported.

The 31-year-old was found dead in her apartment last month after her mother called cops to perform a “welfare check” on the model. When officers entered the apartment, they found a pool of blood beneath her body, which was “wedged in the refrigerator,” the outlet reported. 

Based on the blunt force injuries found all over her body and the condition she was found in, the officials deemed the manner of her death a homicide. There also is evidence that the model was strangled, the officials said. 

Ms Mooney’s sister, Pauline, told PEOPLE that her sister was two months pregnant when she died and had always wanted to be a mom. “She was super excited and I know she really wanted a kid, and it’s something that she has always talked about,” she told the outlet. She also said her late sister’s boyfriend was “heartbroken” about the incident. 

Meanwhile, Ms Mooney’s death spurred fear in local residents, especially after another model in the downtown LA area was found dead in her apartment. But despite similarities in the two cases, police have said that the two incidents are not related. 

Nichole Coats’ family members feared their 32-year-old daughter also was murdered, but an autopsy report released on Tuesday showed she had died of an accidental overdose of cocaine and alcohol.

Putting forth a demand for the release of hostages, a Hamas spokesperson said Israel must free all Palestinian prisoners in exchange, news agency AFP reported on Saturday. Earlier in the day, Hamas said they were trying to locate eight Russian-Israeli dual citizens who were taken hostages in order to free them on Moscow’s request. Russia has good relations with Hamas, which it does not consider to be a terror group, and has begun a diplomatic effort to try to free hostages held in Gaza.Israel today said it was recalling its diplomatic staff from Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out at its military campaign in Gaza. “Given the grave statements coming from Turkey, I have ordered the return of diplomatic representatives there in order to conduct a reevaluation of the relations between Israel and Turkey,” Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.The Israeli military believes the Hamas leadership and its main infrastructure are concentrated in the north, which is where the country has now launched relentless strikes, days after it asked civilians to leave north Gaza and move to the South.Gaza witnessed intense raids last night with the Israeli army claiming a top Hamas commander and several operatives being killed in air attacks. Israel said that they had hit 150 “underground targets” of the Hamas. Israel Defence spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that the troops were “still in the field” and claimed that they were fighting a weaker enemy.He also said that aid trucks, carrying food and water, will be allowed into Gaza today. Not only has the region been hit by the Israeli strikes, they are also facing severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicines.Internet and phone services were also cut off amid the overnight strikes on Friday. Human Rights Watch, an NGO, has expressed concern that a communication blackout risks providing cover for mass atrocities.A thick haze of smoke covered Gaza and southern Israel after the night of heavy bombardment, according to journalists covering the war.A BBC journalist described “total chaos” during the night of strikes and in its aftermath. “There was a huge bombardment in the north of Gaza Strip on a scale we’ve never seen before. At the hospital here, ambulance drivers told me they couldn’t communicate with anyone, so they were just driving in the direction of the explosions,” wrote Rushdi Abualouf.Hamas has said that its operatives are ready to confront Israeli attacks with “full force” in Gaza. The Palestinian militant group that rules Gaza had said its operatives were clashing with Israeli troops in areas near the border with Israel.Israel has accused the Hamas group of using Gaza’s biggest hospital as its headquarters and abusing other hospitals for military purposes, a charge that the group has denied.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday attacked the Centre and investigating agencies for summoning his son Vaibhav Gehlot in a foreign exchange violation case, saying that they made it a “practice” to disturb elections.  Referring to the Income Tax (I-T) raid at Cooperatives Minister Udai Lal Anjana’s premises on Saturday, Ashok Gehlot said it is a ‘drama’ as the investigating agency is not going to find anything.  

“Vaibhav was summoned on one-day notice. It was a simple notice asking for information. They could have asked it simply. If it was found that the information is incomplete and financial irregularities were caught then they could have asked him to appear. It has to be a system,” Ashok Gehlot told reporters at Jaipur airport before leaving for New Delhi.

Ashok Gehlot left for New Delhi to attend the screening committee meeting on Saturday. He further said, “If you will disturb the entire election like this, I would call it disturbing the elections. They have made it a practice to disturb elections.” Ashok Gehlot said that the ED, I-T and CBI are our premier investigating agencies and they are needed to deal with financial irregularities and other crimes.  

“Officers (agencies) are being troubled from the top for nine years through an agenda. Senior officials have to trouble junior officers to save themselves… they go about without adopting the due process,” Ashok Gehlot said.  He said that entering anyone’s house, who is not at fault, is a crime.   

“They enter houses and conduct raids. This cannot be justified. That’s why the credibility of these agencies is declining in the country. The entire country is discussing the ED, CBI and I-T,” Ashok Gehlot said.  

Ashok Gehlot said that he had said on Friday that soon after he announced guarantees, raids will be conducted. Today, our minister Udai Lal Anjana’s premises were raided, he said.
