A Bangladeshi girl who was publicly whipped for an alleged affair with a married man bled to death, according to a fresh post-mortem examination.
Doctors in Dhaka found multiple injuries on the body of Hena Begum, the deputy attorney general told the BBC.
The High Court ordered her body to be exhumed and taken to the capital after a local autopsy recorded no injuries.
Miss Begum died in hospital six days after last month's beating, which has caused shock in Bangladesh and abroad.
Police have opened a murder investigation.
The doctors who carried out the initial investigation have been summoned to explain their findings in the High Court on Thursday.
The second post-mortem examination was carried out by a team of doctors at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
"Multiple injuries were found. The girl died because of bleeding," deputy attorney general Altaf Hossain told the BBC Bengali service.
