Four months after the discovery of the severely decomposing remains of 15-year-old Celested Rivas, who had been missing for a year, singer and rapper D4vd has been tightly associated with the death of the teenager as the remains were found in the trunk of a Tesla on 8 September 2025, which was registered under his real name, David Anthony Burke.
Prior to the discovery of Rivas' remains on a Los Angeles impound lot, employees had complained of a foul odour emanating from the vehicle, which prompted a police investigation.
