The manner of death was ruled a homicide, the autopsy report said.

Orlando police said the case was closed and cleared since the suspect, Kevin James Loibl, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene. Had Loibl lived, police said they would have charged him with first-degree murder.

Grimmie, who performed with a band named Before You Exit, was signing autographs about 30 minutes after the concert ended when the gunman walked toward her and shot her, police said.

Grimmie's brother immediately tackled the gunman, who shot himself during a struggle, police said. The shooter, who had two guns, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said Grimmie's brother is a hero because he prevented his sister's fans from being injured. A witness said others tried to help Grimmie.

Grimmie finished in third place during season six of "The Voice." She was discovered on YouTube, where she has a massive following.
