Two Good Samaritans reportedly stopped to perform CPR on the LSU sophomore after the 3 a.m. collision.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office says they were led by first responders over the phone in the pouring rain after Madi was struck by the carpool.
They confirmed that Madi Brooks died of ‘multiple traumatic injuries’ when she was struck by a car after being allegedly raped.
No further information is being released at this time, and police confirmed that the driver of the vehicle will not be charged as he was not incapacitated and contacted emergency services immediately.

Prosecutor Stuart Thiort said at a hearing Tuesday that the state would seek enhanced first-degree rape charges and plans to convene a grand jury in the case.
Louisiana’s first-degree rape statute carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
A legal expert previously told DailyMail.com that the judge overseeing the bail hearing made ‘inappropriate’ comments that could ‘contaminate public opinion’ of the defendants.
The bar where Madi worked, according to various posts on social media, has also been questioned for its responsibility in the incident.
Surveillance footage surrounding Reggie’s bar, where the group met, shows Madi drunk and stumbling, according to police documents.
Police were seen outside the bar yesterday, which remains closed after the incident.

The Louisiana ATC has confirmed that it has suspended the license of Reggie’s Bar following the “seriousness of the allegations and the potential threat to public safety.”
A lawyer for the bar association, Kris Perrett, confirmed in a statement that they are “fully cooperating with the authorities.”
Legal documents seen by DailyMail.com reveal that Madi had 0.319g per cent alcohol in her system, so high that toxicologists said she may have suffered from alcohol poisoning or blackout.
It comes after DailyMail.com revealed that Madi appeared to work at the bar where she met the group, and a TikTok video showed the wild underage antics inside.
Authorities also seized surveillance footage from the bar and nearby businesses showing Madi arriving at the bar at 10:06 p.m., with Carver, Lee, Washington and the teen arriving at 10:18 p.m.
The officers say in their affidavit that at 1 a.m. Madi was seen sitting on a stool by the bar counter before tripping and getting to her feet with the help of the men.
At 1:34 a.m. she was seen sitting on a bench by the front door before falling back down. The teen walked over to her, took off her cap, and helped her to her feet.
The group was seen leaving the bar at 1:49 a.m., and the vehicle was last seen at 1:59 a.m. Carver told police the 17-year-old and Washington had sex with the victim in the seat. back of the car.
Madi was dropped off less than a ten minute drive from the bar, and just 5 miles from her sorority house, before being struck by the carpool at 2:50am.
Carver, who was driving the vehicle, told police he asked Madi where her friends were, but she said she didn’t know and appeared “drunk.”
He added that Madi gave the 17-year-old “verbal consent five times” before having sex with her in the back of the car, with Washington trading with the teen to also have sex with the victim.

Madi was a regular at the bar and posted many photos of her with friends on social media.
During his police interview, Carver denied having seen Madi before or knowing her, but agreed to give her a ride.
Both Carver and Lee remained in the front of the car while the sexual acts took place, and Carver told them to pull over before leaving Madi.
An autopsy revealed that Madi had “injuries consistent with a prior anal sexual assault” as well as her injuries from the accident.
The fatal crash was the second collision on Burbank Drive, raising questions about the safety of the area.
Ethel Wesly, 71, was murdered in the same week, with locals arguing that more lighting, sidewalks and a lower speed limit are needed.
More lighting is also planned for the driveway to the Pelican Lakes subdivision in Burbank, where Madi was killed.
