An inquest hears how medics tried to save the MP but she was pronounced dead by a doctor in an ambulance outside Birstall Library.
A coroner has released the body of Jo Cox to her family so they can "get on with the grieving process".
The coroner at the inquest into her death confirmed that the Labour MP had died from multiple gunshot and stab wounds.
A second post-mortem examination will not be required on the body of Mrs Cox, who was attacked while she was outside her constituency surgery in the town of Birstall in West Yorkshire.
Adjourning the inquest until after the criminal proceedings are finished, the coroner, Martin Fleming, said he could now release Mrs Cox's body "so the family can get on with the grieving process".
Detective Superintendent Nick Wallen, of West Yorkshire Police, told the short hearing at Bradford Coroner's Court that police and paramedics at the scene knew Mrs Cox was "very seriously injured indeed".
He said medics tried to save the 41-year-old, but she was pronounced dead by a doctor in an ambulance outside Birstall Library.
Mr Wallen told the inquest that police and paramedics first saw the man injured trying to help Mrs Cox, pensioner Bernard Kenny, who had been stabbed in the stomach.
"On Thursday June 16 2016, at just after 12.52pm, both the police and ambulance service were called by a number of emergency calls to Market Street in Birstall town centre where initial information was that a man armed with a gun and knife had attacked and seriously injured a man and a woman," he said.
Mr Wallen said the emergency services then found Mrs Cox, who was being looked after by members of the public.
Mrs Cox was pronounced dead at 1.48pm.
Her sister, Kim Leadbeater, formally identified her at a mortuary in Bradford. None of Mrs Cox's family were in court for the hearing.
Thomas Mair, 52, who is accused of murdering Mrs Cox, will go on trial at the Old Bailey on 14 November.
The shock of Mrs Cox's death was felt around the world.
MPs returned to Westminster to pay tribute to her, and her husband Brendan and their children marked what would have been her 42nd birthday at an event in Trafalgar Square.
Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn went to her Birstall constituency to pay tribute to their colleague.
She had only been an MP for just over a year, representing the Batley and Spen area she grew up in.
She previously worked for development charities.
Mr Kenny, who was 78 on what would have been Ms Cox's birthday, has now been released from hospital.
