Two and a half months after the discovery of Celeste Rivas' remains on 8 September 2025, found inside the boot of a Tesla abandoned at a Los Angeles impound lot and registered to singer-rapper David Anthony Burke, better known as D4vd, the cause of the 15-year-old's death has still not been determined.
Although several developments have emerged that may shed light on what happened to the teenager, many of these have come from private investigator Steve Fischer, who was hired by the owner of the Hollywood Hills mansion where D4vd had been residing. Fischer suggests that Rivas may have died from an accidental overdose.
